Yes, there's someone out here.  I guess "peace" is not as exciting to some
people as war.  I would be most interested in discussing and/or learning
about how to promote peace politically (organizations, etc) and how I, as an
individual, can make a difference.  Thanks.

Personally?  No.  I have far too much else to do other than to make
cannon fodder of myself.  And come to think of it I think that the bigger the
armies you have the greater the chance that you will want to use them.

But then that's me...

	Well I am afraid that there are no FAQs availlable for peace
processes. Not to mention that when the word "politics" sits next
to the word "peace" , "peace" tends to die out. 
	Another thing that has scared me _shitless_ is that the more
educated people are , the less they believe in peace. It seems that
they are convinced about the rightousness of their beliefs.

if any of you have a car that fits the description that you're 
willing to sell for up to $1800, please respond to my message or call  
me at (301)-773-5785.  Ask for Kirk.

I drove by the fair this afternoon and saw only one ride actually moving.  In 
the past, there would only be one stopped.  Really strange, but I didn't expect
any huge turnout of people to pay $3 to ride the octopus.

This was probably the only time I have ever seen green in the north parking 
area.

Well, I am a lawyer and I try to use the net for other purposes.

Anyone know of a company which does Banyan support in Cleveland?  We use 
iLan for VAR stuff, but I am looking for someone do to some hand holding
and general maintenance type stuff.

I'm watching WOSU right now, something I rarely do as I rarely watch
TV.  I just flipped thru the dial.  28 had some comedy on. 10 had
some newswoman talking about the national debt.  6 & 4 had commercials.
Only WOSU was broadcasting what was going on at the Republican National
Convention.

No, I'm not annoyed.  Seems to me WOSU is, as usual, a step above the
competition.

  I don't agree. First of all, it is WCBE that touts itself as
  "your true alternative."

  Second, what is wrong with broadcasting "EXACTLY the same thing
  that all 3 networks are also showing?" A convention of a major
  political party is certainly an event worthy of coverage.

  Third, I don't agree that they are broadcasting EXACTLY the same thing.
  Watch after 10pm, when Brokaw et. al. disappear. I'd much rather
  listen to David Gergen/Mark Shields/Robert MacNeil/Jim Lehrer than
  anyone on the Big 3 broadcast networks.
