Serious for a change.

I use blogger regularly and usually post about frivolous things like rugby and football. But sometimes blogging can be a really important service.
I'm sure anyone who has watched the news in the last few days will know about the situation in Burma (now named Myanmar) and how Buddhist monks are leading protests against the military regime there.
I came across some links to bloggers over there, posting about the situation. Now these people are very brave to report what is going on, something in this country we just take for granted.
Here are the links to the 2 blogs I have read:

It does make you realise how lucky we are to live in a democracy.
