I know it isn't much, but I'm wearing a green ribbon to show support for the Iranian opposition. If enough of us did that and those protesting in Iran--and living in such terror--knew it, it just might be nice for them to know they've got moral support in the rest of the world. I know it's a very small gesture, but just a green ribbon, or wrist band, would make a statement.

Bullying and abuse of power infuriates me more than almost anything else. I had to make some gesture against it. And yes, I know it doesn't take any courage on my part to do it. I'm not risking arrest, imprisonment, torture, or execution in doing this. But I had to express my deep sympathy and support for the Iranians who are risking all of that.
