Political agendas. Last year's, this year's, next year's. The Stated ones you'll get served up again, and again and again. It's those hidden agendas you need to understand, those leftovers, unfinished from previous generations of administrations. I want to know if Peace plans are anywhere on anyone's agenda? I'd like to see your strategy for ending not starting another war. I've already heard all the other agendas, and they never seem to list anything constructive, never seem to offer HOPE or PEACE. Serve me up something new, or keep your agendas to yourself, thank you. All they do is waste paper and time, use up more airwaves. I'm better off spending my days reading poetry and prose and planting seeds of Love and Peace. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (12-28-2002 04:45 PM).] |

I'm better off spending my days reading poetry and prose and planting seeds of Love and Peace. Amen, with the chimp in power there and a gimp in power here, I've long since lost interest in any agendas or propeganda they have left to spew. Poetry and art the only decent byproduct of the human spirit left and even this is waning. |

Shadows and Bluesy, Peace to y'all. Sad but true, the agendas seem to vary very little. |

It's a shame it has to be this way...but what do you do?..Do you sit back and let terror rule..world wide?....Do let innocent people be left begging on streets and abused and tortured?....I don't have the answers, nor does our government....Sad world we live in isn't it? |

Yes, peace and love are best. I wish the people who went around bombing buildings filled with civilians thought so too. I wish the people who blow up embassies were interested in peace talks. That's what ambassadors are for. Sigh. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

"...I want to know if Peace plans are anywhere on anyone's agenda? I'd like to see your strategy for ending not starting another war. I've already heard all the other agendas, and they never seem to list anything constructive, never seem to offer HOPE or PEACE..." The closer the agenda gets to Iraq, the more upset I get. I came out of the Vietnam era and it wasn't pretty. Let's all plant flowers and then wear them in our hair. This was a thoughtful and well written piece and I hope someone out there is listening. HELLOOO ...... Hugs, Marti |

I agree with you totally, Kacy........  I wish so much that peace could be accomplished......... It must first start in each individual's heart, don't you think? I hate for the leaders of our government's to not think of anything except "Power" and more of their own desires. Sometimes I wonder why we even have elections, because where is our "voice" when so many important issues come up? I'd better hush before I REALLY get started and start a very big controvery here. I've learned that lots of people never agree on two things..... politics and religion.........  My Dad is one of those that will argue about politics until the other person just shuts up. He is a Democrat and votes democratic all across the board....no matter what. I personally feel that the "person" should be voted for, not the Political Party....... And how the person feels about the issues being brought forth.... not whether the person is a Democrat or a Republican. Lots of religious groups think otherwise, though.... Now, I came back and said lots more than I meant to. Good thing my Dad doesn't have the internet. He certtainly doesn't agree with me on lots of my views, so I just try to not discuss them with him...

Ethel, please don't 'sit on it' ....the voice, that is. It is OK , no it is FANTASTIC that we have differences yet can remain civil within these blue boundaries. Now if only we could expand these blue love walls....... |

Kacy, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could expand the "love and peace" that is shown every single day here at PIP? That's what I meant...it starts in each individual heart. Just wish that more in political powers all over the world would want peace and love instead of war and hate.... "Love makes the world go around" |

What a conscious-raising poem. Thanks for sharing. All the artists (poets, painters, writers, actors, etc) in America must unite to challenge dictatorships at home and abroad. I believe us people as artists do have the power to change our world. What's shocking is that in my beloved land of lady liberty people think that they can get away with vote-rigging in Florida (and other states). Artists of the must rise up and say YES to FREEDOM and NO to OPPRESSION. The Yankees fought the south (to liberate African-Americans) and the British (to liberate America from imperialism). Don't let our fight for freedom be in vain. "am a tourist not a terrorist, don't shoot, cause we are all on a journey to God" Michak |
