Capitalism abolished!
Today I took part in yet another "peace march" in downtown Toronto. While I believe that these sorts of things are a waste of time, especially when the main point of reference is the Iraqi occupation (which Canada is not, thus far, involved in), I still went because it was a sunny, relatively warm day and I find that involving myself in these events relieves, to a certain extent, that feeling of bitterness and cynicism that sometimes comes upon me.
As I had predicted would happen, a couple of times during the march I got "misty", as the Fonz would say.
Anyhoo, good exercise, more than enough vitamin D absorbed via sunlight, a warm feeling that perhaps humans in general aren't scum.
Maybe there is some value to these events after all!
Looking south along University Avenue towards the U.S. Consulate. (Addendum: photo credit Marta, again.)
Counter-demonstrators. A couple of dudes standing around, one waving a U.S. flag, the other wearing a U.S. flag as a cape.
Marta fighting the power.

Who knew the Pakistani flag was so attractive? I sure didn't.

Yes nice day. Nice flag. Marta is hot.
yes, marta is really hot. so much so that i wrote her this poem:
SONHO
Penso que devo ter adormecido por algum tempo;
Pois quando acordei tinhas vindo e partido.
Apenas algumas flores permaneciam –
Flores que não podiam sequer dizer quem eram...
E uma fragância vaga e suave no ar.
Esta noite tenho de sonhar um sonho mais longo
Para que as flores falem
E a sua fragrância estenda uma trémula ponte
Entre nós.
Hasta siempre, guapa
Come on, anonymous, give me a break.
This is Pacito, right? How else would you know that Marta is Portugese?
It is a very romantic gesture, tho. ;-)
