Peace prize bomb?
WTF?
Today's City/Region front page has a story about a new Eugene Nobel Peace Prize memorial- The Nobel Peace Park. 2 acres within an existing (Alton Baker) park. It features a picture of the president of the Nobel Peace Laureate Project, John Attig:
"Dressed in a navy blue sweatshirt with "I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize" written across his chest....."
Whaaaat?
The monument honors 24 Americans, 21 individuals & 3 groups, who have won the Nobel Peace Prize. There are 24 plaques, with recipient info on each.
"The temporary plaque of President Obama has been damaged repeatedly."*
But let's face it, President Obama is no Gandhi or Martin Luther King jr, when it comes to non violence.

* I personally don't condone vandalism. Even a non-political to scale display of planets of the solar system, has been repeatedly vandalized, so that is a real problem in this area. Someone tries to do something nice & others feel obliged to trash it.

One Love
I don't post as much here in blogtopia. I am working in a branch of social services these days, which is very demanding, but there are golden moments when I really feel like I am making a difference & realize that being in this meaningful service mode, makes me feel like I love my job.
Keep on keepin' on.

I ain't gonna study war, no more
Memorial day thoughts from a worthy Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
MLK jr's "Silence is Betrayal" speech on war.
You can substitute "Afghanistan" for Vietnam & the sentiment still rings true.
Mandates of Conscience.
Society gone mad on war.
War is an enemy of the poor.
The US using massive doses of violence to solve it's problems.
The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today, my own government.
