h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I really want to go on the anti-war march in London later today. They are anticipating anything from 500,000 to 1,000,000 people to turn out. I am not going, not because I do not feel passionate about the campaign, but because I do not feel it is safe to take a baby into central London with that many people around, no matter how peace loving they are. How could I protect her if something violent happened (albeit unintentional) such as a crowd surge?

So, I am not going, but I really hope that the day is peaceful and successful. Lets hope that Blair listens to the electorate and takes a less hawkish attitude rather than ignoring our opinions and making the UK responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths.

I totally understand your feelings. "politics" means "people" & in this case, your first priority has to be to to protect the ones in your own world that you are able to.

--in my case also, even though I have quite strong views on the issue (having lived in the Middle East for a long time, including through the last invasion of Kuwait); I'm putting it on hold for the moment.
--if I don't start saving my own personal world, I'll be in no fit state to try & campaign to stop the rest of the planet from suffering unnecessarily.

--Neugen is involved in organising some sort of "virtual march" on Washington, that might be a good way for you to consider?

--I'll be in touch by email ASAP; just catching up on some of the backlog on here!

It's good to have you back Terri. I look forward to hearing from you via e-mail sometime soon.

mrs with eyes!!

stick arond, I'll watch this space!

zdt

Yup, it's me (please don't faint!) I'm online and likely to be so for another 20 minutes or so!

So, where are you lurking?

Well, at the moment, I'm just whizzing around as far back as I can manage & ruthlessly unsubscribing to everything that doesn't have immediate relevance, then whizzing back here as fast as the boredband will allow to see if you or Nyssa are still on!

--hows things?

zdt

hootoo seems to be playing up at this end, I'm logging out (if it will let me!)

--will send you an email with the gory details!

zdt

Not too shabby at this end. I'm having physio twice a week as my right leg keeps collapsing under me, but it does appear to be getting more stable. and babydogmonkey are well and we are looking forward to getting some time off at Easter. We are seriously thinking of moving to the country (cheaper, less stressful and not such a target for some git with a bomb) so may start looking while he is off.

How's things with you in speedy broadband world and are you getting weird messages from BBCi when you try to post?

Doh! It mucked up hence my response coming after yours... lets try e-mail it's got to be better than this!
