Khamenei's Finger is on Every Trigger & the Whole World Watches
Scenes From Los Angeles, California Spring 2009
11/28/09"LACMA is the largest encyclopedic museum west of Chicago and attracts nearly one million visitors annually. Its holdings include more than 100,000 works spanning the history of art from ancient times to the present. In addition to art exhibits, the museum features film and concert series throughout the year." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Museum_of_Art

On Thanksgiving day, I was sitting in a cafe, reading the BBC News online, and was shocked to find a story about a long time online friend. I first met Negar, from Iran, on orkut, a social networking website, about ten years ago. She is a wonderful, compassionate woman. She had mentioned a group that she was a part of, the Raelians, but I never really paid it much attention. But living in Iran, and declaring herself to be an atheist, got her into trouble. And taking part in the big pro-democracy demonstrations, probably did not help her stance with the government. Recently, she had to flee the country, as she was about to be charged with apostacy, a very serious crime there, considered 'anti-Islamic'. She went to Turkey, but was arrested for entering illegally, and is now in a Turkish jail. Since Turkey has an extradition treaty with Iran, they normally send prisoners back there. We are hoping they will make an exception, due to religious persecution. She was hoping to make it to Europe, and apply for amnesty. If you have a few spare moments, if you could sign a petition asking Turkey to release her, it would really be appreciated: http://www.petitiononline.com/negar/ You can read more about her case at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8381385.stm and

A very nice closer look Rich. I like this sculpture. It looks good from near or from far or seeminly from any angle. I wonder if those were goals of the sculptor? Anyway, it's pleasing to my eye.
I hope you have a nice Sunday, Greg
