Dear Friends:

          In this newsletter is:

1. THURSDAY NOON VIGIL FOR PEACE
2. ST PATRICK'S DAY PARADE
3. AMERICA'S LOCUST YEARS
4. ENVIRONMENTAL WARS

          ==================

1. THURSDAY NOON VIGIL FOR PEACE

Our weekly noon vigils are on Thursdays. We vigil for peace in front of the Rolla Post Office THIS THURSDAY, March 11, (and all subsequent Thursdays until peace is established) from Noon to 1:00 PM. Please try to join us. The temperature is predicted to be around 60 with a slight chance of rain. If you do not feel comfortable standing with us in front of the Post Office, please consider driving by and showing your support for our message by honking your horn and flashing a peace sign.

2. ST PATRICK'S DAY PARADE

We will be walking for peace once again in this year's St. Pat's Parade on Saturday, March 13. We will gather on 7th street between Park and State streets (south side of Post Office) around 10:45AM. The parade starts at 11:00. If you are planning to bring a vehicle you should probably try to get to the staging area by 10AM.

3. AMERICA'S LOCUST YEARS

Bob Burnett, founder of Cisco Systems, points out that in the United States we, like a plague of locusts, have eaten everything, under the apparent assumption that either there would always be more to squander or that the future doesn't matter as long as we live the "good life" now, (click here). It should be noted that this is an attitude that has been deliberately cultivated in us by Wall Street and our political and business establishment.

While Burnett seems to feel we can climb out of the hole that we have dug ourselves into, it will certainly be a long hard climb.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL WAR

Six years after two massive US assaults on the city of Falujah, the incidence of birth defects soars. This delay of a few years is what one would expect from radiation poisoning caused by the use of depleted uranium weapons, (click here).
