Thread Name: BS: Actions to promote peace
Subject: RE: BS: Actions to promote peace
You know I got to thinking this morning that maybe I jumped too fast in saying don't send rice. Perhaps now is the time to send more? I was never really for the idea and I probably still won't but at least it means peace activists are getting noticed. Getting put on the terror list reminds me of the 'red list' in the fifties.(? about year)
It is worth considering anyway. Maybe publicizing the action was a ploy to deter protesters of this type.

Our small group of protesters last Sat. made our front page paper yesterday! This is a good thing. Hopefully it will bring more out this weekend. It was our first rally in our small town. We had police sit and watch us for half an hour then they figured we were alright. They said we couldn't have any signs that said 'honk for peace' or do anything to divert traffic. We have a no lottering law in town so we were leary at first, but now we have a civil liberties rep. coming to challange this law. Finally!

Peace. (The world can only unite by loving, not by hating)Rustic
