Maybe we're both wrong...
Our local high school paper recently published a thoughtful op-ed "Maybe we're both wrong". The topic discussed is likely a necessary foundation for world peace. Please read. Thanks!

Halloween Peace
Sunnyvale Voices for Peace had an enthusiastic monthly meeting on the street corner this past Friday from 6 to 7 pm. Many of us came in Halloween costumes and we had a new family show up and another newcomer promise to come next month.
November will hopefully be a celebration rally for a new more peaceful President that the rest of the world respects (Obama). December will be our annual Santa Hat peace rally.
Here are some pics from yesterday's costume peace rally.

It's that simple.
