    Today thousands and thousands of school and college children in Devon alone (all over thirteen) took to the streets to protest against the premptive war in Iraq. What made this especailly good was: a) the kids were not merely joining in for the hell of it, they had and where discussing real views b) most of the parents had no idea c) the schools had no idea it was going to happen d) the kids managed to pull it off More power to them for actually taking an active interest in world affairs; most people seem to be content with arm chair name-calling - it seems there may be hope for a better future yet. It also prooves one thing I have known for a while now - never underestimate the power of mobile phones in the classroom! :-D

    Do you have a link? I'm confused because Fazlul's link talks about UNIVERSITY students. Further, there weren't that many of them: More than 100 students gathered at University College London since 8am to begin its protest. We organised a walkout at 12pm, about 300 people came to that. We demonstrated outside the university library This afternoon, 400 people staged a street sit-in, blocking traffic on one of the main routes into Cambridge. A few hundred here and there. Maybe this isn't the same thing that you're talking about. :confused: ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

      I'm guessing the concept of a 2 hour movie showing two guys eating a meal and talking struck them as 'foreign' Rob Manderson wrote:

        Not that I can find, sorry, but as I said this may well have been a local thing and not [inter]national. This part of the world rarely makes the major news. :( These were not university students - I saw them through the car window, they were secondary school children.
