So this afternoon, on the way home from 三条...

...I signed a petition and wrote a one-page letter to be faxed to (still-)President Bush expressing my dismay at U.S. inaction concerning the current situation in Gaza. And this isn't just some anonymous Internet petition thing--I wrote that fucker: it contains my full name, occupation, and address.

The main reason I did it? Because the first two times I passed by the protestors, I thought Man, I'd like to sign that, but if I do, there go my chances for the Foreign Service. And then I realised that just the fact that normal people would even think something like that in the face of this catastrophe is one of the reasons why it's still continuing.

So.

That will be all.
