   POWERFUL XMAS ANTIWAR VIDEO

   Happy Christmas – war is over if you want it

   A call for peace and a tribute to all who have died or whose lives have been forever changed by the illegal war in Iraq. (some graphic content)

   John Lennon’s “Happy Christmas/War is Over” provides background music to this political holiday message. Ends with a call to action urging viewers to write to congress telling them “no more troops” and encourages people to attend the March on Washington Jan 27.

   Dan-
   Recall the story of Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Suess. It isn’t the Grinch, but Yertle that our leader reminds me of.

   But Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to everyone at BradBlog. There are only 5 among my bookmarks, and I visit for a looksee everyday. You are a good and important community to me.

   Best holiday wishes to fellow Brad Bloggers and, it being Christmas today, to true Christians that the words of Christ may be taken seriously.

   Time to beat swords into ploughshares and turn the military-industrial complex to the urgent task of finding a way to save the earth and embrace it with peace instead of blanketing it with bombs.

   “One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

   “The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

   “There never was a good war or a bad peace.” — Benjamin Franklin

   Peace on Earth & Peace of Mind to some. . .

   The Stigma of BPD

   There is no one alive on this earth that hasn’t struggled with something, nor is there any one that doesn’t need a hero. If you named just about any illness — mental or otherwise — there are documented stories, volumes, made-for-TV movies that tell the tale of those who faced their adversities and overcame them. Whether it is cancer or alcoholism, diabetes or bulimia, there is always someone — and more often than not, someone famous — that a person can look to for inspiration. Unfortunately, such isn’t the case with BPD. I find it hard to believe that of the 6 million BPD’s in this nation alone, there are no beloved celebrities, few heroes of which the public is aware. It’s a lot easier to believe that there are few who will admit to having suffered BPD. Stigma plays a role here. In today’s heightened awareness and acceptance of mental illness, I have felt quite open to tell people that I have suffered from depression, from drug abuse (years ago) and from anorexia. I’ve been loathe to share the fact that I have suffered from borderline personality disorder — both because of the number of people who do not know what it is and, perhaps even more, because of the people who *do* know what it is.

   Letting all voices be heard might not bring calm to a chaotic universe, but it can’t hurt!

   Let’s walk away from war and set a good example for once.

   America voted to give peace a chance.

    Thank you Brad and bloggers for the thoughtful and loving Christmas message. And the memory of John Lennon and his music ..sweeet ..may you all have happy healthy and prosperous New Years’.Maybe GWB is helping to bring the peace we all want on this blog. Wait..wait don’t write me off. The military is toast which is not necessary for peace. distrust of our old style of US govt. is suspect here and abroad which isn’t conducive to peace.South America is becoming independent and progressive..can’t rely on hand outs from US. Which may be a good thing. Brazil(I think) starts with a B is running all vehicles on sugar cane products. Cuba and Venuzuela are encouraging local , organic food and leading the way for the world. Mexico is standing tall for their own govt. and fair elections…not US and CIA/corporation backed leaders. The war is extreme and it’s horrors less a secret.Nobody wins except maybe big corporations , don’t even think this war is helping them..hence the James Baker Iraq commision.Alternative media(you) MSM no longer trusted. We’re still here. Peace.

    Can there be a more compelling pic anywhere than this one, that should bring home to roost for the warmongers amongst us, why everyone in the world needs to pull together as brothers and stop all this killing and bloodshed…..it’s insane, and has to stop.

    https://planetary.org/bluedot_poster.html

    Yes, that’s us…..that tiny dot in that beam of light. Pretty humbling eh..!!

    WE are all we have…!!

    We HAVE no place else to go…!!

    PEACE

    Happy New Year, Arry. I apologize if I offended you. You have to concede that Arry is a rather unusual moniker, and I just watched My Fair Lady for the umpteenth time a couple of nights ago… God Bless Us Every One!!!
