Peace ... what a concept!
Everybody talks about peace, justice and sustainability, but achieving is a lot harder than people think. It'll take work. It'll take sacrifice. But as parents, we want a planet worth handing on to our kids. Let's work together!

March 20 is the 7th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Seven years after George Bush declared "Mission Accomplished!" The Vietnam-style quaqmire continues as the U.S. continues to pour billions into futile military solutions at the expense of human develop both here and in Iraq (and Afghanistan)! In marking the seventh year, please take a moment with your kids to explain how making friends is the path to world peace, not shooting guns!
Peace,
Steve
