We will devise a ritual to transcend the double-standard of grief, to transform their dead into our dead, and our dead into theirs. And then we will challenge those around us to do the same.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."

"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

For what it's worth, I signed and forwarded the URL to a friend. Frankly, I don't much buy the "peace and love" rhetoric though. I feel the real source of world conflict is power-hungry politicians (who shall remain nameless to whom two minutes of silence means little). Not people who if THEY had any real power would probably pass laws prohibiting the use of fly swatters. The greatest philosophers have thrown up their hands at this conundrum and I regrettably join them. I do stuff like this anyway, including joining peace marches, but I believe nothing is served by adopting a wholly unreal. perspective.
Unhappily, I have to agree with you. As The Creative Activist (see sidebar) says in its manifesto, "protest is broken."
Fighting "the system" has never been more difficult, in part because young people *don't fucking care*.
If this were the '70s, Bush would've been impeached by now and Cheney too probably.
