I've been amazed at how cool the kids I've spoken to have been about the bombs and everything. Apoa was genuinely shocked today, though, when she heard about police shooting someone on the tube. She acted like she couldn't believe it. 'But that's the death penalty!' she said. She couldn't believe the police would administer justice on the spot. I pointed out that we don't know what was happening yet and we had a discussion about the law on self-defence and stuff as well. There's a discussion of this going at the Guardian's newsblog just now.

I have no time to blog at the moment as I'm trying to get my stuff out of my office before they move everything to the new campus and get everything sorted before we go camping tomorrow. Hoping to catch a glimpse of Ohna overnight on the way. Wish I had time to tell you about the conference I just got back from. Some other time.
