May 19, 2020
Dear Friends:
Editor's note: Please send in your work. I think readers would love to see more variety in this newsletter.

Webperson's note: If you are having trouble reading this, it is posted at

In this newsletter is:

1. NOON VIGIL FOR PEACE: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2020
2. THE MISFIT MATHEMATICIAN (Tom's column, http://tomsager.org)
          Moral Degeneration is Everywhere

==================

1. NOON VIGIL FOR PEACE: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2020

We vigil for peace in front of the Rolla Post Office, THIS THURSDAY, MAY 21, FROM NOON TO 1:00 PM (and most subsequent Thursdays until Peace is established). Please join us again this Thursday in saying NO WAR AGAINST IRAN or any other country. The temperature is predicted to be around 70. If you do not feel comfortable standing with us in front of the Post Office, please consider driving by and showing your support for our message by honking your horn and flashing a peace sign.

Note: Since there are so few of us, generally 2 or 3, no need to cancel; but let's maintain social distancing.

2. THE MISFIT MATHEMATICIAN (Tom's column, http://tomsager.org)

Moral Degeneration is Everywhere

One atrocity begets another in an ever-more-diabolical spiral. I thought I had heard it all:

Hundreds of thousands of children dead from preventable disease because of sanctions; (Iraq)

Almost a million children blockaded in an open air prison without adequate clean water or medicine; (Gaza)

Hospitals bombed; (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen)

A school bus full of kids bombed; (Yemen)

Young children separated from parents and kept in cages; (United States)

And now:

Three men wearing police uniforms carried out a mass shooting in the maternity ward of a hospital in Kabul, methodically killing women, children and new-born babies.

Looks like the “Peace Process” is also dead.

Who could be responsible? Most likely those who were left out of the Peace Process and hope to continue enriching themselves from the occupation and the war. Moral degeneration is everywhere.

Here's an image I photo-collaged years and years ago:
