Some of us might be thinking about how to get things done, while someone has been doing one thing for 24 years. And it's never gonna be done.

I came across Rion Nakaya's photoblog [one of my favorites] and found the touching series of "the president's neighbor: marks 24 years of protest." These pictures depict Mrs. Concepcion Picciotto, a fortitudinous woman who, along with her friend William Thomas, has been demonstrating for the White House Anti-Nuclear Peace Vigil since June 3, 1981. Connie's makeshift vigil camp is on the sidewalk in Lafayette Park, right across from the White House gate. It's her home. It's her battlefield.

Only God knows that, because I want to stay here, no matter what. I want to stay here. It's painful many times, physical and moral. Oh yes, very painful. But I see people, that people are suffering. And these here, they don't care. They kill, kill. Even American troops too, these young people in there, it's so sick. For nothing, for nothing, for control of the oil and power. It's insane. I will be here whatever it takes.

Some people live for their belief. Some poeple die for that. Connie is there, for it.
