worth.

These past few days watching the riots and protesters in Toronto during the G20 summit has had me just baffled. I'm still trying to fully contemplate what has happened - why the police were provoked to act so violently, the store windows broken up and down Yonge Street, the damage steps away from my apartment and how so many of my friends are doing that are still there. I believe in the police, I can't even imagine having to face a bunch of guys dressed in black jumping and setting my car on my fire. That's scary.

What I will say to those destroying such a beautiful city and making life generally miserable for everyone - why don't you go on a plane to Afghanistan and spend some time in the harshest conditions and support those are physically protecting an aspect of your life and so many others instead of creating damage and hurting innocent people. By innocent, that means even provoking those peaceful protesters to them get caught up with the violent.

Thinking good thoughts for Toronto.

"There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down" - Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth.
