Peace Day
« on: September 21, 2007, 11:34:18 PM »
Today's Peace Day. I don't know if anyone knows that. At 12pm all over the world people were supposed to stop for a minute of silence. Including those at war. Wonder if it happened anywhere. We did it at our school today. The kids really got into it. Just thought it was interesting. Too bad it's not more well known. It makes me think of John for some reason though. The whole peace and silence thing I guess.

No concert? It can't be that serious an issue if their ain't a concert. If Elton John and Ricky Gervais can't be arsed then neither can I.

Good idea. As I watch Samoa tear limbs of English public schoolboys today in France I shall dedicate one of my pints to it.
(I cease being english when it comes to rugby).

I'm strictly a football and cricket fan myself. I can see England slipping up this afternoon though. Aren't Samoa one of the feeder countries for New Zealand Rugby?

They're the NZ b side really. But England should win

For those who missed it all is not lost. I checked the website - October 16 is "End Hunger Day." Now this I can relate to, cos I missed breakfast this morning and I could kill a Maccy Dees. All sing now "we are the world..."

Believe it or not, but there is plenty going on. We just aren't aware of it because we have pretty easy lives. But it should be bigger in light of what's going on out there. There's actually a calendar of events that go on for the month, so it's not really just a day.  But you know, apathy being what it is.
