TWO YEARS before the Gold Medal in boxing was won by another conscientious objector to be GERALD HOLTOM put his art education to world use in 1958. First used for the ALDERMASTON March against N-U-C-L-E-A-R, ( pronounced: new-klee-errr. ), DISARMAMENT in Great Britain. Easter was the date of destiny for the visual representation of an era, ( the 1960’s ), that will outlast its creator.
From over a horizon.
February 21,1958, the PEACE SYMBOL was born. Its creator left us September 18, 1985.
Mr. Holtom didn’t even copyright his world symbol. [Thank You]

NICOLE PARRA is the WELCOME EXAMPLE of what an ELECTED OFFICIAL IS to be to those who placed them there. [ In the doghouse for standing .] [Nicole Parrra of Hanford,CA] A Los Angeles Times BLOG has notified us that this extremely well grounded LATINA representative has taken a stand for HER constituents at the State of California Legislation DEMOCRATIC PARTY BUDGET SPENDING PLAN VOTE this past Sunday 8/17/08. Karen Bass, Speaker of the House, [Karen Bass], California’s version of NANCY PELOSI. (There seems to be a ‘SMALL’ portend to the way of things to come by this event. ) The only thing that Ms. Parra did is NOT fall into party ‘LOCK STEP’, so Ms. Bass has sent Ms. Parra’s ENTIRE staff across the street to a building where legislative STAFFERS work.
It is an interesting scenario to watch, as a prelude, as to how the Democrats are to be a cohesive element in this nation’s future. What, with this coming PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION and the RACIAL RE-BALANCING to arrive, VERY SOON, at this mid century. Just how are WE, THE PEOPLE to choose the proper REPRESENTATIVE for OUR leader-ship?
In the HOUSE.
Is this the new continuance of “The same old story, same old song and dance, my friend”?
Ms. Speaker of the HOUSE.

Well, fellow citizens, it’s just under three months until “we” choose the next occupant of the oval office. As of today, August 14, 2008 we’ve had 3367 “officially” dead soldiers since 3/19/03. And then there are the 655000 Iraqis who’ve met their demise in that same period of time. Add to these the gossamer gilded government spend rate of ,( “approximately” ), TWELVE BILLION dollars A MONTH. Of course we all know that we’re fighting this “conflict” in the region that provides most of the world’s OIL, and the Bush ‘family’ stands to reach one of its monarchical goals at this term’s end by “assisting” second quarter profit(eering) for ExxonMobil= $11.68 BILLION, Royal Dutch Shell= $11.56 BILLION, BP= $ 9.5 BILLION, Chevron= $ 5.98 BILLION, ConocoPhillips= $ 5.44 BILLION “respectively”.
Now, as time has all but run out on the Republican ravishing of the Constitution and nine-tenths of the other freedoms that USED TO BE ensured Mr. Bush has succeeded in placing missiles near Russia’s borders, just as their satellite Georgia is mid “skirmish” with South Ossetia. This is the Baltic region’s OIL transfer location, where as Bush fails in the middle- east Mr. Putin is gettin’ ‘er DONE!
What IS to become of this latest event? What WALL will have to be torn down in AMERICA to rid US of the outrageousness’s that have been built in the minds of this citizenry?
HAVE we become the very thing, that we fought throughout the Twentieth century, to the world that fought WITH US ?
There are so many people that have seen and are seeing the lowest points in life. I’ve had a long battle with drug abuse and ALL of its ‘wonderful’ assets. The many clouds that continue to circle my life don’t appear to be letting go of their dismantling my attempts of ‘doing something RIGHT’ for this world. And I’m losing what faith I thought I had in turning the remaining time I have left.
TIME, the calculated/approximate observation of events that we witness or have related to us. Aurally, graphically, editorially, mechanically, time has a weight that we sometimes attempt to rush through its cycle. Many others of us refuse to count it down, preferring to fill the rest of their TIME allotted with the constant glees of stuffing as much life that they can into these, all too few, moments that we call LIFE. These people, such as Randy Pausch know when and where their bucket is and choose the exact line of attack for its ‘puntment’. They teach us the fun-mentals, ( the smart ones have no TIME for ‘DUH’ !), showing all how to choose the proper pail and development of technique, all the while counting UP each and every day of staying close to those they love.
TIME is not the enemy, it is our travel mate, the one entity that is our envelope, the blanket of security that we can carry anywhere we go for our entire life without your outgrowing its presence. TIME is counted by those who have undergone a sundering of their health, the remission of the devastation’s inflicted by a malady or habit of detriment.This is why those who follow Bill W.’s plan count their days, weeks, months and years of continued freedoms from the pains. Many of us would love to know the distance traveled between our first recognition of a bucket and the one that holds our exit information and departure TIME. The bucket is of our own design and volume, style, maybe playground. Early kickball, Beckham,Groza or Pele, with, maybe, a little Bennie Hill thrown in for exit’s easement. Or “Rochester’s” cue in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”. The pail punting prerogative is our final act on this orb, it’s best to do it with grace in TIMING.
