My Rainbow Race - Barn av regnbuen
As you may know, Anders Behring Brevik is standing trial these days in Oslo, for killing 77 people July 22nd last year. As a protest against Brevik's message of hate, 40000 gathered in Oslo today to sing Pete Seeger's My Rainbow Race, or Barn av regnbuen (children of the rainbow) as it's called in Norway. All over the country people stopped to sing this song at noon today. It was very moving.

Meme!
I found this interesting meme on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sgamadison's LJ this afternoon and thought it looked like so much fun! Please join me, if you have the time! :-)
The meme runs like this:
Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random.
Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
