    Just curious, I know 4/20/12 was supposed to be the day everyone put posters up around the city. Did anyone see anything in their city the next morning? I sure didn't.

    I think this whole campaign was a huge buzz for a week and then quickly died out. A horrible, horrible thing it's true. But it sickens me all the money these people are making out of it when it should go to the children of these tragedies.

    I was at home on the 20th, and I saw one rather lonely poster on a railing. Now that I'm back in London, I haven't seen ANY at all, and there was supposed to be a large event happening here last time I heard, although it has been my examinations week and I haven't really been paying much attention.

    The big thing I heard about happening on April 20 was, people all over the country (the whole world?) taking stands (in various ways) for the legalization of marijuana!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    I saw one sign (spray painted on a boarded-up building) on my way to work. There are "Kony 2012" stickers on most of the traffic light and street light poles on the streets around my building, but with the NATO summit coming in a few weeks I'm sure the city will have crews out to remove those pretty quickly.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    I swore I read somewhere long before this "KONY" movement that Kony was killed three years ago. I can't remember the source or if someone told me.

    He wasn't killed, he was driven out of Uganda about 3 years ago.
