On February 15, 2003 the world spoke up with a call to peace. With a call to history that we are ready for something else. Millions of people gathered across the globe to convey one unified message, "We do not want war". This perspective actively illuminates the hypocrisy of the concept of Government. The notion that several hundred people have the luxury of dictating to the greater majority. This illuminates for us the error we have made in trusting the nature of our government to individuals. Democracy is a daily endeavor. It requires persistence and flexibility. It requires an open community comfortable with communicating with itself. This protest march is a good example of a large number of people coming together and expressing their perspectives peacefully.
