Pax for Peace

When I was a kid, there was this country with a government that sought to control the media and peoples access to information. This government was a government of a few over the many and the rights and welfare and opinions of the people did not matter to the government. This government was feared world-wide. They were known to invade countries without any real provocation. They cared so little for the rule of law or justice that they would sometimes declare people enemies of the state and have them whisked off to parts unknown and far-away for imprisonment and torture. They were called the Communists.

You know? The Evil Empire? They were the bad guys? We, the U.S., were the good guys. We weren’t perfect but we had government for and by the people, We the People. The rule of law, and the highest of ideals as embodied in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights… is any of this ringing a bell?

I’m going to go light a little Lavender incense and read some selections from the Declaration of Independance, and the Constitution, amongst others…

Peace and a Happy U.S. Flag Day,
