I'm still reviewing Internet article on the Zamenhof-tago, one of biggest
Esperanto highs I've ever had (on an otherwise godawful day). Most
of the news items are about Google featuring the Esperanto flag. There
are a number of news items concerning the exploitation of the Zamenhof
doodle to disseminate malware, e.g. . . . <br><br>

There are some news reports that don't focus on google, such as
celebrations in Poland:<br><br>

One article has a particular historical slant, i.e. the persecution of
Esperantists, with text from a book that treats the subject in
detail:<br><br>

Murdered for Speaking Esperanto</a><br>

There are numerous other blogs and announcements. The reader commentaries
also very. The Washington Examiner is distinguished by the most vicious
readers' comments--right-wing and anti-semitic--I've yet seen. Thank you
Washington:<br><br>

</a>There is also much resentment concerning the omissions of the Bill of
Rights day--among the same sort of people, curiously. This is not the
150th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, last time I looked. I don't
recall any constitutional amendments passed in 1859. The biggest blow
struck for freedom that year was John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry,
which began Oct. 16.<br><br>
Once again, here's my web page in progress:<br><br>
