A Peace Activist Thinks About G-20 Again We’re flying home for a labor rally in front of Goldman Sachs as G-20 continues Friday afternoon. The last 24 hours in Pittsburgh leave me with a shudder.

Posted on September 25, 2009 by iwilder

Thinking About The G20 Meeting In Pittsburgh The nation-states act like adolescents. Every diplomatic vowel that comes from an open mouth has the shout of peace in it, but the leaders can’t hear this. Are the ministers jealous of peace?
