Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother’s Day!

So, Mother’s Day was started in the US by women’s peace groups to reunite families torn apart by the Civil War.  Mothers whose sons had fought and died, on both sides of the conflict, came together to heal.

Think we can expand Mother’s Day to the rest of the world?  And can we expand that aspect of it to the nowadays US?

Maybe if we think of mothers as a universal source of unity and humanity we can remember that it doesn’t matter what god/political-group/currency you pray/vote/pray to, that maybe we shouldn’t blow each other up, and just to chill the fuck out and give each other flowers.

Ah crap, once I mentioned flowers I just sound like a hippy, don’t I?  But still, man!
