Iran, Cont...

But this time a good thing. An example of how regular folks function in Iran, a devoted poetry club, despite Western poetry being banned in Iran.

We should take inspiration from something like this. If these guys are willing to risk prison to meet about poetry, we should be more than willing to risk massive humiliation and failure for organizing A Night of Movies and not give up until it's a success. I mean, these types of little details make you forget how drastically different it is to live in a free society. Can we even fathom this notion of being locked up, tortured for meeting about poetry?
