Copenhagen March

Posting awfully late, so any updates about the "deal" that was struck in Copenhagen will be stale. Those of you that are curious (if you're not curious you should be) will already have read the reams that have been written, so I won't go into it here.
Needless to say, the delegates failed to step up to the plate and surprise everyone with courageous leadership, bold moves, and real solutions to what is most certainly (and without scientific doubt) a global climate crisis. Their message to us seems clear: Solve it yourselves, because your governments are incompetent. Thanks, guys. We will try.

In addition to many workshops, meetings, and other awesome events, I checked out the march that featured 100,000 people and every cause imaginable.


Communists? Of course. It still surprises me how the rest of the world views communism as a legitimate if a bit misguided political movement (much like republicans) rather than an insult.


The green energy folks were there too, sense of humor intact.

Anarchists never miss a march.

Reminding the crowd "Respect our police" and "Don't Be Idiots", some Danes turned out to with some always prudent advice.

The Jubilee Debt relief peeps were out in force.

Role playing enthusiasts, welcome at any event, were present and accounted for with a reminder that we need to role a natural 20 critical-hit in the fight against climate change.


I originally thought this was a pride flag, but after seeing a lot of rainbows in many context here in Europe I'm starting to think that maybe it has more of a "diversity" connotation than an expressly gay one.

Marijuana supporters again remind everyone their theory that there is a very simple answer to many of the worlds ills...

This guy might not have a huge sign and bunch of people carrying it, but my feeling is that he is on the right track.
