Sorry for the lack of "me" in my 365 for today.
I'm protesting at the CA capitol (Sacramento) tomorrow, and I've been making protest signs all day.. and preparing myself for one of the most emotionally draining days of my life.
The Governator(lol) is planning on cutting some major medical services that directly affect my family. If he succeeds, many people will die. Thousands of mentally ill people will lose their "in home" care, and in result they will be forced into institutions which will actually cost Ca MORE MONEY. Making this whole situation so ridiculous and infuriating.
I plan to take as many pictures as possible tomorrow, hopefully I won't drench my camera in too many tears. But it's bound to happen.
This is the only crucial plan Arnold has up his sleeve. He also plans to cut CA colleges freshmen by 6% making it nearly impossible for people to be accepted. This includes community colleges (which he plans to take away all their grants and financial help as well). So grrreat. We will all be DUMB AND SICK.
Once again, our community open space of Filoppapos Hill is threatened, and a protest meeting is organized.

Protest in the ethnically cleansed city of Prijedor. Marchers walk with backpacks with the names and ages of children killed in the genocide. The protest was granted on the condition they didn't say the word "genocide". In the center of the town the backpacks were set down to spell out "GENOCID?".

I am usually in Grafton Street on a Sunday, these were taken Saturday, instead of the usual selection of buskers, it was more political than usual with an anti fur protest outside Brown Thomas' (an very exclusive shop, like Harrods in London) and a Falun Gong gathering campaigning for the release of Fang Yang.

A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
