[Peace-discuss] AWARE

[jgeo61 at comcast.net]

Yes, there is a war on overseas, but if we don't start working together as a peace group, we are just another group of disorganized peace activists that achieves nothing but lots of time crying in our beer. 

Maybe my message would make more sense if I translated them into Greek or Latin.
