Hi guys,

nice to have you hanging around and bumping into each other.

I really dont get online to this website often now, but I do now and then.

I have a little peacenik news - there are some events planned for July 4th - such as a gathering at the Menwith Hill Airbase in Yorkshire, Northern England to protest against American Militarism.

I'm sure there will be other voices of dissent on day of national self congratulation, I believe that Adbusters are trying to buy some air time for thier anti-consumerism advertisments...

Unbrand America.

And, just so I don't get totally focused against the US, and instead lay some positive enlargement on ya there is an international movement for Fair Trade supported by many charities, and Christian Aid, to get a positive adjustment of the structures of trade to benefit instead of impoverish the developing world.

Big Hugs to ya,

I've just posted a request at theCommunity Choice page (A192791) to add a Peace Garden (under the 'Town' link) to the The World of h2g2 categories. This would be specific to community groups with a specific interest in peace activism.

'There seems to be quite a few groups in the h2g2 community of Researchers gathered in the name of Peace, Love, and Justice. It occurred to me that it would be nice to group them together in a Peace Garden in the heart of h2g2 Town.'

This would, as I see it, have a twofold benefit: It would enable Researchers to find groups espousing an interest in peace activism (which seems a pretty hit-and-miss affair at the moment) and it would facilitate co-operation and resource sharing between groups in the list (ditto).

Waddaya think?

Sounds nice, John. Can we talk about gardening there too, or just peace?


(that's a mug full of freshly whirled peas!)

Anything of importance is best discussed over the garden fence and pondered in the potting shed.
