This weekend was very busy for me. I went to New York City on Saturday to protest the war in Iraq. It was pretty amazing, but very tiring. I went with a group from Kalamazoo. We left at 9pm on Friday and got into New York on Saturday morning. All 300,000 of us marchers went down Broadway to Foley Square. There was a rally and I got to see what all sorts of other groups are doing. At 6pm we got back on the bus and headed over to Ground Zero. I've seen it twice before and it still seems very sacred. We saw a plane fly over (well near) the area and it really sent chills down your spine. We left for home at around 8pm and made it into Michigan early the next morning. I'm still tired!! Dan and I went to see the movie United 93. It was really good. I thought that the diretor managed to capture the horror of the day and the courage of the passengers and crew without being cruel. It was respectful and real. Highly recommended movie! Anyway, I have included some pictures from Yahoo.com news of the march to give you some idea of the scale. I hope to eventually post the pictures of my sign, which was pretty popular. Hopefully, we can end this soon so that more people won't have to pay the price for the questionable decisions of our leaders.
