This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thought provoking ... My reaction? Peace through victory ... because no other peace is possible with an intractible, irrational, hate-filled enemy who has an inalterable goal of the destruction of all we hold dear and a blind ambition to impose and brutally enforce 12th century Islamic law on all survivors ... But there is hope! And it will be soon. Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO -----Original Message----- From: Sarah Fox [mailto:sarah@gendernet.org] Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 11:20 AM To: Pianotech Subject: Peace -- OT Hi all, Something unprecedented has happened! Jean-Jacques stole my "peace" signature! ;-) (In truth, I encouraged him to use it in a private email.) Ever since I've signed on to this list, I've gotten private emails inquiring about my "peace" signature, why I use it, etc. I have also gotten occasional positive commentary on list. Quite predictably, for anyone else who is curious, I am one of those awful "peacenik" sorts. I come by it honestly, ever since childhood, when my two first cousins were in peril in Vietnam in a war that seemed senseless to me. None of you knew me prior to 9-11, but I used the "peace" signature in my emails then, too. I have always used it as a reminder that there are intelligent alternatives to war and violence. Much to my amazement, people do seem to pause over my signature and ponder this issue. Anyway, the only reason I'm writing this email is to encourage everyone who feels as I do to please use the "peace" signature themselves. There's no trademark on the expression! Peace should be more contagious than war, and *speaking* peace is the first step towards waging it. In a world turned violent, in which hundreds of innocent people are slaughtered on Spanish trains, let's speak peace! Let's spread peace through gentle reminders to our friends and even our enemies! Only peace will save us. Peace, Sarah P.S. The timing of this email is no small coincidence. I am half Spanish, and I have immediate relatives in Spain. I would truly be honored for people to recognize the Spanish victims with the simple word of "peace." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
