"The global environment can survive only if we learn to live in peace and harmony with our fellow human beings. At the same time, as Dr. Jane Goodall says, "To achieve global peace, we must not only stop fighting each other but also stop destroying the natural world.".
This page is in two parts. The first, and largest section, provides inspirational, pro-Peace songs, meant to inspire. The second part is Anti-War songs, meant to get you mad, and take action. We need two sides of this coin".

Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land
..
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.
Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics.

About me: Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
****ATTENTION PLEASE**** Because of the never ending parade of cam girls, I must make the following request of anyone desiring my friendship; Please send a small note telling me why you would like to have me as a friend. That will allow me to check out your profile and decide if we would make good friends or not. I will not visit a profile without a note and I will not add anyone whose profile I have not seen.
My heart is burning for peace, luv, justice and understanding. Laid back, fun, humorous, analytical, creative, and I hate talking about myself. I believe in the Belly Button Club. I believe that we are One and that the Human Family has been universally growing towards that awareness; even so-called "bad people", of which I can be one. With the help of my brothers and sisters we can all reach higher ground. I'm working on my private revolution so when we all have our world party, I'll be ready. "We are an army without guns."

Sometimes the measure of friendship isn't your ability to not harm but your capacity to forgive the things done to you and ask forgiveness for your own mistakes. Randy K. Milholland, Something Positive Comic, 11-07-05
The above link is for you to write, CALL, AND/OR Fax your representative in D.C. and DEMAND that they vote NO on the Iran Resolution to Set up a Naval Blockade against Iran.
CALL AGAIN, TELL A FRIEND... The Bush administration is trying to provoke Iran into lashing out in desperation so they can respond with the attack they’ve been wanting to launch for years.
They MUST be stopped.
PLEASE pass this info on. If you have never contacted your senators or congressman, NOW is the time. We’re talking about preventing World War Three, folks. We don’t have the luxury of sitting around waiting for someone else to do it. Time to stand up and be counted.

Hey there! Just added you and already I can see how much we have in common. Time for a change and all it takes is at the least 1% effort of 100% of the people.
