-Caveat Lector- Thanks, Paul, it's a very good letter and should be posted soon at http://www.globalpeacenow.org. Thanks for taking the time to do it so we can expand the survival issue messages being carried by Global Peace Walk 2000 and inspire others to submit their letters/messages of support with their most important survival issues to be publicized and carried by GPW2000 from San Francisco to Washington DC to the United Nations next year. Based on responses so far, the nuclear abolition activists are not responding as well as others including the anti-war and anti-drug-war activists. We do not ask or expect supporters of Global Peace Walk 2000 to all endorse every survival issue message being carried by the walk, just to unite all messages and activists in the cause of "Global Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve and then to share the messages with the public, media, and governments, which those committed to this cause feel are most important for consideration to accomplish this goal. From: Paul Giroux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: David Crockett Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Your letter/message Date: Tuesday, November 16, 1999 6:01 AM To David Crockett Williams and all other organizers and supporters of the Global Peace Walk 2000: I will admit from the beginning that I am not the best of letter writers, but this is one cause that deserves to be promoted and encouraged. With the 3rd mellenium fast approaching and wars of one sort or another still going on in all parts of our world, we must find a way to end them. For now we are trying to limit the effects of war by decreasing the amount of nuclear weapons. Though this will decrease the destruction caused by war, it will not keep the war from starting in the first place. We fight for human rights, but how will we ever keep our human rights, when we as people are giving them all away in the name of the "War on Drugs". We no longer feel safe talking over the phone, or the computer or some of us even to have private conversation in our own homes. For me the best way to stop nuclear weapons is to stop the need for war in the first place. The best way to stop most of the wars, is to end the drug war that is going on now. Only when people can feel safe from government persecution, will it be possible to gain any sort of true human rights. And one of the best ways to end the drug war, is to end the prohibition that causes the drug war in the first place. It has already been shown the harms and ills that prohibition causes, one of them being the vast military and prison complexes that are being built all over the world. Isn't it sad that one of the most booming investments at this time is prisons and prison suppliers? Wouldn't it be much better if we were using all that money to build housing for the homeless, producing food for the poor, better schools for our kids, and many more things to that effect. Yes the 3rd millennium is fast approaching, but if it means I will not be free, I think I would rather skip it. End prohibition, after that everything will fall back into place, including the abolishment of nuclear weapons. Peace, Love and Light shine on all, Paul Giroux windofchange P.S. My name is Paul Giroux, I live in Quebec. I am trying to organize a Canadian branch of the GPW 2000. I would like to emphasize the ending of prohibition on the march. I would like to get all the smokers to just stand up for their rights in order to end prohibition. Everything else for now is secondary to me. Remember May 6th, 2000 is Mayday and it will be time to stand up. http://www.cures-not-wars.org GPW 2000 will help to drive it home. This is the year to make prohibition go away and start the new millennium with acceptance of others' way of life. If you would like to help out let me know.
