Actual Good News!
I don't know much about Burma, except that their hideous military junta calls themselves SLORC. The only thing better might be to refer to themselves as "Darth Vader."
But -- I have several friends who work on Burma human rights issues, and I hear years of effort have paid off with some very good news: Min Ko Naing, a former student leader who's been imprisoned since 1989 for pro-democracy activities, has been released.
You see, not everything is horrible all the time. People work and work and work, and the immovable rock is moved. Congratulations to all the activists, in Burma and elsewhere, responsible for this fantastic turn of events.
