Subject: Department of Peace
Those of whom have visited Tweeds Blues may have allready run into pinko commie peace-nic Bobert but here I am in Mudsville singing the same old song. In 1969, at a ripe age of 23, Dennis Kucinich was elected to the Cleveland City Coucil and in 1977, Dennis the Menace was elected Clevelend's mayor. He is now a 3rd term U.S. Congressman from the 10th district of Ohio. On July 18th of this year, he offered H.R. 2459, which, if passed, would create a cabinet level post and a Department of Peace. This is not a joke and he now has some 30 plus co-sponsors of the bill. If you believe there are better ways to solve differences of opiniond between groups of humans than to kill one another, you might want to check out his web site.

If this is something that Mudfolk all ready have discussed, forgive me. But revisit the issue non the less.
