Hi guys and gals!
Sorry this is in a seperate thread, but I really want to get the word out.
The recent military coup in Thailand has put quite a strain on Bangkok. Among other things, political meetings of greater than 5 people have been banned, with sentences of up to 6 months in jail. Several people have already been arrested, even a hunger striker. The last military junta 15 years ago ended up shooting and torturing quite a number of people.
I don't think any of us want that to happen, so I'd like to point you to an on-line petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/thaicoup/petition.html
where you can demand that the authorities must not arrest or harm protestors.
For more info on the coup and the current situation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_2006_Thailand_coup

We can all take a step forward here. Pass the word on, if you can. Love and peeeeeeeeeeeeace!

Hhmmmmm..... I checked and there does seem to be something wrong with the site. It was probably the overwhelming strength of all your hearts overpowering the server, a slashdotting of people power and goodwill! XD
Thanks a bunch to Tyball, Jabronisaur, arian, and everybody else who signed (or tried to sign) :heart:
