No title today.

Many people have been shot in Iran in the past few days. One of those shootings--that of a woman named Neda--was captured on video.



Yeah.

Read more about Neda here and here, and lots of other places, if your Google is working right.

I can't get it out of my head - not this, particularly, but the image of the sea of green from last week. And the militia on their bikes with tear gas from Saturday.

I keep thinking of Yeats' "1916", "We know their dream; enough/ To know they dreamed and are dead."

this is so sad.
i keep watching this, and its hard to believe that there is actually a woman dying right there. its so surreal through the camera.
its kind of sad it takes something as horrible as this to get people's attention. like, hindsight is 20/20, almost. things need to get really horrible before anyone wants to change it.
sorry, i kind of rambled on about nothing right there.
this is just depressing..
