The biggest demonstration on earth (until the global
anti-Iraq war march of Feb 15, 2003) took place in New York on June 12, 1982,
when one million people gathered in support of the second UN Special Session on
Disarmament and to protest nuclear weapons.

New York City.
June 12, 1982:
The Great Peace March.
And Now.
Sitting here. Typing.
Listening
to the Grateful Dead sing Visions of
Johanna.
Thinking
about another vision that has been
blinded.
Has gotten covered with blinders of shared complacency.
Helpless renunciation.
Forlorn acceptance that we cannot
change things as they are.
I went.
I saw.
I concurred…
With one million other souls.
June 12, 1982.
To stop the Nuclear Arms Race.
TO STOP THE MADNESS!
IT’S NOT TOO LATE.
Peace in…
War
out!
Redemption Song!
IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
