International cease fire. Maybe the people of the world

[alfredo]

should declare one day, maybe Jan 1 as cease fire day. Let's set aside just one day out of 365 to lay down the guns. That one day we fix what we broke, heal our wounds, and rest. Can it be done? Can we today start spreading the word that January 1 is for peace, not for war.

Can we do it? We have two months.

1. I'm willing???

4. You could get a bad reputation that way. What I was thinking

was inspired by John and Yoko declaring the war is over.

Just one day people need to feel safe, one day without the sound of machine guns, bombs, and screams.


One day is all I ask.

10. The question marks were for when?

I'm not sure Jan. 1st is the best day. It should be random and its own entity (not New Years) But I am psyched for a Peace Day...

If everyone should put down their weapons for just one day, peace would be bliss... I think the HUG movement is def. helping that line of thought right now. A hug is so great.. My husband gives the best. He's very empathetic. He puts himself into the hug--you feel better, lifted, spirited with one of his hugs. He doesn't even relize it. Even a simple loving touch from his has power in it.

11. We need to do something. With resources dwindling,

we cannot afford to waste them waging war on each other.

2. How dare you

Do you know how much the military industrial complex could lose in that one day? Jobs will be lost. Why do you hate war....uh. ..er..America?

3. Let man and man tip the cup

Then let's sip it up.
Lay down your arms and cause no malice

Cease Fire, Cease Fire,
Cease Fire and light the chalice.

5. Yes. The UN had Peace One Day on Sept 21, but I think

we can handle another day set aside for peace.

6. 4/20

universal day of peace

[alfredo]

7. have any of these days had the benefit of the netroots?

Can we, as citizens of the wired world make such a thing happen?

[Rockstone]

8. john lennons borthday would be an appropriate day

we should have one every month. Every day for that matter.

netroots did accomplish "talk like a pirate day" so peace day should be easier than that.

[alfredo]

9. What day is that?
