Just read a little bit about the Velvet Revolution that happened in Prague in 1989. A group of 30,000 students peacefully marched to mark the 50th anniversary of the suppression of student protests by the Nazis, which had led to the closing of Czech universities till the end of WWII. It's an interesting situation and I am looking forward to being there and standing in the places where these students marched. I'm hoping to gain some inspiration from it.I feel like my generation has gotten a little too lazy about protesting and speaking up for things that they find important in society and government. How can we expect to change the wrongs in society if we aren't willing to speak out against them. I do comment those students who safely and intelligently protested against the new immigration bill here in the US. That is a whole other subject for another day, but it's nice to see young people taking a stand for things they believe in.
