In case you were wondering…here’s a recent pic of me.
Finally, something I think that might make some real sense in this insanity we call history in this millenium.
In September, for the third time, people will attempt to band together and give alternatives to those of us who prefer peace in our lives - at home, in the community, in schools, in our urban centers….everywhere. How, you may ask? The answer is by taking 2% of the military budget and creating an Executive Cabinet Level U.S. Department of Peace that will operate on the premise of education and alternative means of empowerment other than blowing everyone up with weapons OR words or both. The movement seeks to empower us all and offers the hope to people of reason that “peace is non partisan”….it’s a desire we all must find deep within. Those of us who feel it deeply know that my words ring true. And in order to make this alternative a “reality”, we must also seek to approach the middle and right whose scope of enlightenment is still light years behind others.
Right now, there is no alternative that is under a well-organized umbrella and that would invest in the long term effects that peace can bring through dialogue, training, education of our leaders, teachers, law enforcement officers, parents, spouses, youth, inmates, et al. Yes, this kind of initiative would spread its roots through schools, prison systems, domestic violence programs, law enforcement training, youth programs…all under the auspices of a national “umbrella”. It does not replace what we have known too deeply in these last years especially, but seeks to offer an alternative means to killing and violence. It would act, if nothing else, as a “checks and balances” organization to offset the monstrosity that is creating the military hardware, the military state that we are too strongly becoming with no alternative in sight.
If the mere thought of such an alternative even remotely sends a positive signal to your brain and/or heart and or soul, please consider reading more about the proposed campaign at : http://www.thepeacealliance.org
L”Unita’ fa la forza. We must be united in our visions and dreams. Status quo has to go.
Pace e bene,
Peace & Blessings,

I just can’t find words for this…every set of words is wrong. What I will say is this…this is probably the worst horse ride in history. Read Here WARNING: Not work appropriate.
Hypothetically Speaking: Diebold, Blackwell accused of pay-play scheme
Come on, who didn’t know something was fishy? After the CEO of Diebold made his comments some time ago, how could we not know that Diebold was up to something.
I just hope Ohioans remember this when Blackwell is running for governor.
