A case of people forcing the authorities to listen to them I think and that's exactly what they should be doing! After all, didn't those people vote for the officials who thought up this 'failed' idea? Thanks mitchezz for the story because it's an encouragement and all the 'peaceniks' need to be encouraged once in a while! It's generally such a discouraging world these days isn't it? So stories of peace, compassion, generosity......so necessary as a help to the changers of the world!

Hey Shalimar, I'm pretty sure the Bard would love your paraphrase entirely! Just as an aside, did you know that in all likelihood the Bard was a pot-head? Yes indeed, I can picture him, sitting all mellow and peaceful, smiling happily as he reads what you did with his famous work. (http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/b...-students-william-shakespeare-is-420-friendly - out of 24 clay pipe fragments found in the garden of the home of William Shakespeare, 8 had evidence of cannabis residue and 1 had the residue of cocaine. Sounds like smoking pot didn't hurt his creativity.)
 

War and the talk of war has always been with us, and always will be. Read or heard something like that a long time ago and is an unfortunate truth...
 
I'm glad it touched a chord with you Debby. It's too easy to become cynical and stories such as this remind us that we don't just have to accept bad government policy. As my political hero, the late and great Gough Whitlam, once said "Maintain the rage".
 
FDR loved a good martini in the afternoon and I can see why...:playful:
