Imagine... At 8:15 AM, Hiroshima, Japan local time, timezoneconverter, on either 8/6/06 or 8/5/06, depending on your position on the globe, you stand outside and hold a single helium-filled latex balloon, or perhaps several, hand tied with no string or ribbon. You let go, knowing, as you trace your balloons progress into the sky, that at that very moment, all over the globe, other people are doing the exact same thing, in the interest of world peace, 61 years to the day after the moment when peace was most utterly destroyed on this planet.

Why?
This balloon will have a minimal radar signature. Those who initiate and conduct the wars on this planet have sophisticated radar they continuously monitor. Your balloon will be seen.

Send your leaders a message: that you have an interest in world peace, that world peace is not only something you desire, but something you believe in, something you see as necessary. Not only necessary, but possible. Not only possible, but overdue. Show the powers that be, who believe you powerless, that you are not powerless, that power can be wielded in better ways than they choose to wield it. Peaceful, beneficial ways that harm no one and help all.

Use your power
On August 5th or 6th, at the time appropriate to your local time zone, release a balloon into the atmosphere for world peace, in honor of those who gave their lives so that you may live. I will release my balloon a 4:15 PM on the afternoon of August 5th, 2006. I’m hoping I will not be alone in doing so.

Remember, latex balloons only, hand tied with no string or ribbon. For the environment.
