[Peace-discuss] Speakers working group

[Ricky Baldwin]

I like the idea of placing ourselves "nearby" even if protest signs are not 
welcome as part of the labyrinth.  Maybe this bears some thinking about?

------------------------

  "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the 
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double edged 
sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
  And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils 
with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing 
the rights of the citizenry.
  Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will 
offer up all of their rights unto their leader and gladly so. How do I know? 
For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."  -Julius Caesar
