Terra and I attended the Peace Rally in Downtown Asheville  last Tuesday.  Several leaders from a variety of religious and secular organizations gathered in City-County Plaza to express their desire to see people living side by side in a peaceful manner, locally, nationally, and globally.  Rabbi Rob Cabelli believes that there is a perception “that it's just a bunch of idealists who have their heads stuck in the sand who actually rally for peace,” he said. “But I think it's just the opposite. The real sticking our head in the sand is when we imagine that peace will come through any other way or when we ignore the fact that the earth is on a course of violence.”

What do you think?
