He has also fallen for the peace through annihilation tactic which has a long history of failure.Tim O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653709506879101775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552880991412553088.post-83511658526153280732010-07-23T14:47:47.942-04:002010-07-23T14:47:47.942-04:00Sorry about the confusing comments but it was the ...Sorry about the confusing comments but it was the computer malfunction or something. I reposted I guess, it kept erasing it. <br /><br />I just happen to be in a military town. I forgot how bad things are in the real world. since I have been in the boonies for awhile. <br /><br />I am looking to get out of here any day now but things are a bit intense. I maybe should have posted this in your recent post but you are right. Don't trust anyone, even contractors that come to your house. It seems to be a good ole boys club and as you point out, the connections to the military are there.<br /><br /> I hate to sound like a crackpot but if I disappear, you know what happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552880991412553088.post-81473123724561371422010-07-23T10:36:14.612-04:002010-07-23T10:36:14.612-04:00I think we need to run Dennis in the 2012 Primary ...I think we need to run Dennis in the 2012 Primary to wake up Progressives TFU!Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552880991412553088.post-76057293783129235812010-07-23T00:49:56.992-04:002010-07-23T00:49:56.992-04:00I am so happy you like it.

I think I remember you guys from Common Dreams. <br /><br /><br />I love Dennis the menace.

I hope. <br /><br />I love the idea of a Peace Academy. I am going to start on the script. Who plays Dennis? That's a tough one...I'll get back to ya.<br /><br />I did a little parody piece on Dennis if you like comedy. I think we can start Peace Academies in our own backyards. <br /><br />My idea is to take over the commons, have the place for the kids to go after school, no video games. Ping Pong. Pool. Board Games. <br /><br />Maybe instead of 'Fight Club', we have 'Hug Club'. It can happen. <br /><br />"The first rule of 'Hug Club' is don't talk about 'Hug Club'. Oh, I didn't mean it, let's hug.' <br /><br />Anyone could come in and eat or drink, the price would be in hugs. You would have to stand outside and hug 10 people for that sarsaparilla.<br />Is there anything better than birch beer. <br /><br />Treverse. <br /><br />All kinds of classes and lectures by whoever they want. Video-conferencing with other kids in other parts of the world. <br /><br />How do we do this though? The library, the local colleges can certainly help. I love tea shops. <br /><br />I like the idea of the movie 'Chocolat'. Kind of a gypsy ethic. Take back the commons through art and theater if you have to. <br /><br />hey took Kombucha off the shelves here, maybe nationally. It seems the FDA is concerned about the alcohol content. Ah-ha. It reminds me a bit of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' but in reverse. <br /><br />Anyway, love the site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552880991412553088.post-40781128618172787502010-07-22T19:37:24.644-04:002010-07-22T19:37:24.644-04:00You certainly may.

I don't believe I've even heard about a Dept. of Peace, not even back in the 60s. It will take several readings to absorb all of this. It's incredibly profound.<br /><br />Judy, I would very much like to copy this one to my blog - of course with full credit to you and your blog. And then, I would like to link to Cook's piece. They're both so extraordinary that I think it's important to promote them as much as possible.Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.com
