Profile Information:

About Me/Us:
Lifelong peace, civil rights and environment activist. I'm taking my marches and hand-held signs from the streets to my desk and the pixels, which can reach 'round the world. [No, I'm not a grannie and I don't look like the cartoon! It's a joke!]
Relationship Status:
Single
Movies
Out of Africa and Reds are tie for No. 1 favorites
Too many pyramid out from there to name, Love quality comedies and dramas, well-made documentaries and dialogue-laden relationship flicks. In other words, my tasts are broad and varied.
Television
Not much network except Letterman. Lots of PBS like Charlie Rose, Tavis Smiley, Frontline, Bill Moyers' Journal and documentaries. Made-for-cable programs like Six Feet Under, In Treatment, Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency, Crazy enough for ya? Oh! I miss ER and my guilty pleasures are Grey's Anatomy and Cash Cab.
Music
Classic rock and folkish rock. James Taylor, The Who, Paul Simon, Meat Loaf, Jimi Hendrix (!), Rufus Wainwright, Eric Clapton, Beatles, Stones, etc. Josh Groban, James Blunt, Tom Waites, Bob Dylan (!).
Books
To Kill a Mockingbird, I think, started me on my life path. It opened my eyes at an early age to injustice when such a thing was invisible in my real life. Again, so many wonderful books! The Story of Edgar Sawtelle was a rare break from non-fiction (and from reality) that I enjoyed recently. Trying currently to read Zen and Now, non-fiction, it depicts the recreation of Robert Pirsig's motorcycle journey. Where is the time?
Heroes
Michael Moore, Dennis Kucinich, Peace Pilgrim, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Martin Luther King, George McGovern, etc.

    Dear Veralynne,
    I think that you might be interested in joining a group that I just started, called Feminists For Peace.
    I read your comment on the blog "How can we create greater impact on the
    MEDIA?"     in it, you wrote: "Another outside possibility would be to organize big enough peace events that the MSN would be forced to cover them."
    Another initiative that I am trying to get all my friends interested in is The World March For Peace And NonViolence. This also has a support group here on MyPeace. This is EXACTLY the kind of huge activity that you recommend. And it has ALREADY started! Please come with us!
    I come in Peace,
