Mad Monks and Karma Power

Having been in George W. Bush survival mode for far too long, I'm not easily moved by much of anything these days - until the Burmese Monks protests. "Freedom" has become a BS word thrown about by the Bush Admin to seemingly define the antithesis of the OED definition - except for those lacking Halliburton glasses.
However, the situation in Burma and the bloggers have honestly cracked through my cynical shell. Their cause reminds me of those who founded this country George W. Bush et al. have dragged through the mud.

As they marched through the streets of Myanmar’s cities last week leading the biggest antigovernment protests in two decades, some barefoot monks held their begging bowls before them. But instead of asking for their daily donations of food, they held the bowls upside down, the black lacquer surfaces reflecting the light...

I wish we had monks here, maybe they could oust the Neo-con junta.

A transcript of a phone conversation with a Burmese in Yangon: Er… they shot… people got killed. Er…but it seems like it wasn't asbad as yesterday in terms of number of deaths, however we will knowthe accurate picture tomorrow. Er… la another disturbing news isthat er… I would like to know if you would inform BBC and CNN about?(sob!!!) They burned the injured protesters/civilian people in the YaeWay Crematorium la la . Er… the staff from crematorium told this,crying, to the people who went to the funeral service. Please let this known to CNN and BBC.

Bodhisattva Buddhist Power now!
Some remember their vows - and it takes a hell of a lot of f-ed up shit to get Buddhist monks so angry.
We're also tired of hearing the non-stop radical moslim agenda.

I liked this line:
“I am too proud of my poo,” boasts 93 members who spend entire nights digressing about the “16 different types of turd.”
