The travesty that is and has been the political situation in Burma continues. This latest report from the BBC regarding civilian casualties is just another horrific reminder of the price most people in the world must pay for something those of us in countries with free election take for granted.
I'm inspired as always by the people of Burma, who had the courage to take action at the polls, only to find themselves silenced, and who now, in the face of death, maintain that courage to achieve a life they feel is truly worth living.
I admit I was a bit unsure as to if the hilarious but unkempt Jim Carrey was really the most likely choice for a spokesperson for the cause, but perhaps these most recent events following on the heels of his infamous youtube video may help people draw the thread and find time to take action.
Let us hope that the world is finally ready to listen to their voice and aid them in their fight to be heard.
