1. Expand

This is a great idea.

Now more than ever we need to go beyond fear, beyond hate, beyond media, beyond government, beyond nations, straight to the hearts of our fellow planetary citizens.

We can either take this energy and focus it toward a new world, or destroy each other in hate and recrimination. This is the narrow road the ruling cabal has paved for us - more hate, more deception, the enveloping darkness of fear.

The next few years are pivotal for this planet. If there is to be real change, we need to change ourselves first, our communities next, and our "leaders" will be forced to follow.

The alternative myopic vision being downloaded into the collective unconscious daily by the global overlords will only lead to disaster for the vast majority of living beings on this world.

Imagine, create, expand.

2. Peace!

Good to see you, orwell - and on a thread about a moment of peace (and its role in changing hearts and realities in the long run) that is happening in my home town. Sadly I couldn't be back in town for the event, but I am sure I will hear about it. It would have been nice to be standing together with this group this afternoon. They are wonderful people in Bloomington.

Hope all is well with you! :hi: and :hug:

4. Nice Flag..........

...for a loser Im proud of my country even though its ruled by morons you should show more respect for those who died defending that flag.

5. Isn't it on some of the soldiers uniforms that way?

I heard it was. Someone questioned it on another forum and they didn't understand why a soldier would be wearing a flag in that way. They saw it on the uniform at an event.

6. You should educate yourself to what an upside down flag means.

It's because so many people have died defending it that many us are flying it upside down.

7. Not a sign of disrespect but a universal sign of

distress to fly a flag upside down.
