A Pax On All Your Houses

Anticipating a peace march, it's easy to get cynical. How to prepare, what to wear, a uniform to confront the uniform. We mobilize and mobilize in responce to mobilization. Yin and Yang. We and Them. Spy vs. Spy. Frick and Frack, the march goes on, a suicidal drumbeat, sheep to slaughter, life and death, death and life, to step out of line is to aid the enemy. To join the line is to aid the enemy. The real problem is just the shared enmity.
