With a little help from my friends

Hi.

Thanks to all for the nice comments regarding my post on Mayamaya's blog.

Some of comments you left behind had the ring to it of there's nothing you can do.

While it's grim out there these days, all isn't lost.

Tomorrow, protests will be staged in literally hundreds of cities across the globe.

Wanna fight back? Wanna make a stand?

Get out there and march, especially if you are in London, where there will be an estimated 500,000 people.

500,000! Check that for a second. That's about three times larger than all the U.S. troops surrounding Iraq right now.

If you protested in the 1960s (or continued to walk the talk against nuclear weapons, South African apartheid, pollution or the globalization movement), get out there. We need your spirit to remind us that change can be made.

If you feel hopeless, take a walk with a few thousand like-minded souls. Trust me. It'll recharge your batteries.

Remember: Don't riot, don't push the police around, don't be rude. Don't give the TV camera a chance to frame the anti-war movement as a bunch of hooligans.

Get the information about Feb. 15 here.

You aren't alone.
