A Call To Arms: Everyone Place a "NO More Wars" Sign In Your Yard
We've had more than enough of the war on Iraq. We want our troops to come home alive. Now we know that they are ramping up for a military action of Iran.

Everyone one of us can place a "No More Wars" sign in our yard---or window if you live in an apartment. Everyone of us.


I put a giant (4 foot) blue peace sign (complete with lights) in my yard for Christmas, and it is still there. I challange everyone to place a sign in your yard declaring your insistence that there not be another war. I will do the same.

5. That is old hat ...
The sign of the times, and the meme for our current age reads:

"Give me liberty or give me DEATH!"

If you can't understand that and go by it, then you don't see what the Matrix of the control-grid has in store for you yet.

You are either ready to make that meme a part and parcel of your life, your are willing to follow the inevitable, consumer-based corporate control paradigm to it's full potential as the anti-thesis to your ideas of democracy and individual values. The technology for this kind of total control has come. It has been demonstrated time and time again. It is seeping and pouring into your lives so rapidly that you hold on to now legacy ideas of response in a vain attempt to forestall its bold and certain installment into your lives and those of your progeny.

We are a cross-roads that will may well determine the fate and lifestyles of generations to come. If we are going to be prone to the preservation of what the corporations have instilled in us with product and television for several decades, than any vision or hopes of freedom, equity, and sovereignty are doomed in the face of the dominance and bottom-line factor.

I can certainly say that we are not just dealing with our own comforts and fates anymore, we are dealing with how it all will go for quite some time into the future of our species. That should take some precedence over the trivial and trite issues we are always being spoon-fed as consumers of media, this, that, and the other thing.

We are persons, not mere consumers of goods!

If you were serious, and I hope you were, this is the one meme that we need to hold onto, repeat, and project. It is not a new meme, but it is a good one.

If we cannot make it spread like a virus and say, "Well it worked for them and it was not debatable!" then we lose, period.

There are too many people trying to force too many memes, (now that it is in vougue) to let this one slip by and be buried in the fadastic nature of modern, media-controlled attention.

This is now the ONLY meme I can stand by, uphold, and die for today. That comes after a total of five years of following elections, protests, DU, blogs, PI, and everything else. I have been a total player and I now know that the Nation MUST resound with a tried and true response to Bu$h's puppet, dictatorship in the name of coporatocracy!

Please people, it is not as hard as it might seem. It was done long ago. Do this for your children and grandchildren, if not for yourself!

"Give me LIBTERY or give me DEATH!"

You know they won't like that response and they either give back what we had in the first place or commit genocide. IN America? Well, yes, that is possible. It IS happening here. But that kind of response will echo around the globe and change everything too.

For ourselves we have our EVERYTHING to lose, but Bush is slowly taking it away anyway. For HUMANITY we have EVERYTHING to say and do.

What say you?

And add to that: "We DO NOT negotiate with Fascists and minions of Corporatocracy!"
