It is no surprise that people are turning more and more to the fundamentalist religions at this turning point in world wide economic malaise as the thought of when will War end has been replaced by, so this is the way it is, and will be.
Against this fatalistic posture are those who attended the Peace Fair, those who believe that small incremental actions by committed people will eventually lead to a change that we want and feel must come to be. This understanding adds an imperative in the fight against the symptoms of endless aggression and brings back to our conscience human discourse, verbal communication as an essential vehicle for co-existence.
Those who attended the Peace Fair were compelled by the believe/conviction that the chosen course of our Government has to end or it will end all of us.
Most notable was the absence of fear of police intervention/harassment or potential time spent in jail.
This experience reaffirmed our united hope and effort to keep free speak a right, rather than a Saturday afternoon luxury
What a pleasure!
