Subject: RE: BS: The War betting pool
Donuel thank you for the beautiful picture. I really love it, and I love this world and the people in it, war or no war.

McGrath said something about how much more difficult it is for Americans who are working for peace than the rest of us, because they are the ones most vulnerable to the 'war-mongers' in their own country. I thought a long time about that, tried to imagine myself as an American right now and what it would feel like to be directly 'under the gun' of all the propoganda and social control mechanisms. I don't envy your position at all, and I can see how much more desperate you must feel than I do, and I feel desperate enough believe me. It helped me understand better the reasons for posting a thread like this.

Peace and best wishes to you
