thanks to glenda...

and to each and every person who posted for post for peace. i tried to read them all and i, personally, was so overwhelmed by the responses and the thought that went into all of them. i sometimes feel like i don't make much of a dent in the world being only one person- but when i look at what glenda put together in a short time- i know that i am not alone. we can take back america- we can make our country the land of the free and home of the brave once more. it isn't a left thing or a right thing- it's an american thing- and we can do it. we proved on a small scale that this is possible. we can do it. peace.
go to glenda's website- glenda in the land of oz- for info on the peace train.

You did a great job. I was very impressed by the number of people who got involved!

Peace - You are making a difference. A lot has to change on our rock for peace to be achieved. It means that a lot of rich people will not be making a lot of money anymore. The fall of capitalism etc IMO.

So I think peace in the little dark alley or to the war fields is one very difficult job to achieve - but is that stopping us, no.

Need more to board the train.

Absolutely - I think this was a great idea - and it is just things like this that start the ball rolling for more dramatic change - small ripple - eventually - tidal wave... I hope.

Glad to have been part of the P4P !

Happy 4th.

Reading your posts, and the posts of some of your friends gives me hope that things may someday change. It is a hope that I do not find in Bush, his administration, or those currently in control of Congress. Thanks for doing what you do.

Love the Peace Train, Betmo.

It really was a moving turn-out, eh. Hope your 4th was otherwise great as well.

Peace.

Is this thing related in any way to the Coors Light sliver bullet train?

I only ask because I think half the passengers are drunk

:P

Sorry betmo, just taking a crack-shots for kicks and giggles.

betmo, I learned about the peace posting from your site and I think that glenda came up with an excellent idea. It made me a lot more introspective of what "Independence Day" really means...not so much about hot dogs and fireworks but about the dogs of war and the rockets red glare!

Peace, girl! You rock!

Did you make that picture? Love it!

nah- i went to google. i am fairly illiterate as far as graphics and pictures and such. i pirate around the blogosphere looking for things i like and bring them back here- i guess a magpie is more apropos- as i also like to talk. :)

Don't feel bad about using the stickers. I posted something on The Peace Train about where I got them.

Sorry for the double comment. I don't know why, but I did that quite a bit yesterday.
