[KWPeace-groups] From Tamara - I need help with title, World Beyond War, Film Fahrenheit 11/9, Peace Quest etc...

[Dwyer Sullivan]

Thank you Tamara - for all your input and willingness to participate and
document conferences and witnesses.

Your titles are all good - and somehow the public needs to realize the
different Canadian approaches to war-making and the environment - and be
short and catchy. Some examples to keep you thinking

Military spending up 25%, Environmental 0% - WHY?  Canada a Peacekeeper???

What Canadian budget grows 25%? The military- Why oh why? And the
environment?

ETC

I like questions - they sort of draw me in.

peace, Dwyer
