This weekend is the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. It was called a weekend of "peace and music". I'm disappointed that at a time when we need this mentality more than ever - nothing is planned. But I really think anything meaningful would be planned in a grassroots style. So here's what I'm going to do, will you join me?

I'm going to take my family to our local park, and set up a picnic and listen to music. I'm going to print a 'peace' protest-style sign to symbolize what we're up to. That's it. That's the full plan. Show up, in a common space, and be there in the spirit of what we're FOR, not against.

50 years later, we're at war in 7 different countries, and at war with ourselves. It's time to revitalize the peace symbol, and push the hippie generation - who are now in charge - to return to their values and come together for change. That's my ultimate hope.
