Athenians March on Parliament

I went to the weirdest March yesterday.

It all started with an e-mail going around ... that and cell-phone messages ... telling us all to march on the Greek Parliament ... because of the devastating recent fires that had occurred close to Athens.

I had found the whole idea of this march pointless ... because these fires did not so much seem like a question somehow resolvable by more (or a different kind of) government action ... being just another one of the absurd occurrences here.

These fires just seemed to fit the pattern.

In any case ... I went ... if only to participate in something positive.

It will of course not make an iota of difference.

But I had to do it nonetheless.
