[Peace-discuss] July 4th float -- okay, seriously...

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Excellent points, Karen, esp re last year's float, a real winner b/c of how positively AWARE handled the topic!! Hey, maybe do that again, under the banner: Lincoln would have loved this float!! Nah...
 
Yes, there were things about Lincoln's time that were  anti-war... AND anti-racist, too. For a nice change, let's try think of AWARE as pro-peace and pro-inclusion/diversity and find things to support those. Works better for me than all this "anti" thinking.

I have no desire to attack Lincoln.
Let us use the theme for the best anti-war message we can.

Last year's float was wonderful because we took the theme "Honoring
our military heroes" and turned it to honoring our military heroes who
became peace activists.

If we had chosen to attack military, our point would not have been as good.

I say we go with the theme enough to turn it into a very positive
anti-war statement. And there are things about Lincoln's time that
were anti-war.
