Ye, the assistance of the Great Ham of Peace hath been requested and the Ham of Peace shall assist with words of Ham Peaceful Wisdom.

I got nothin.'  This guy needs to get a delicious Dunkin Donuts Ice Coffee and try to chillax.

So sayeth the Ham of Peace.

Oh Larry of Peace (so sayeth the Ham of Peace) Would you happen to have a really super de dooper Gun locker for which we could lock our weapons up in. Perhaps it would bring Mr. Jones that comfort he needs.

It is really really sad that his chief prophet has managed to instill such fear and hatred into him.

Oh gracious and wise GWB,
I am awaiting my gun permit from the Town of Wareham (purely for sport purposes). My permit from the oh so far away state of tranquility (Tennessee) has expired. I can direct you to a proper storage unit that is locked. We come in peace to conduct town business and spread the word of the great and mighty Ham of Peace. Fear not you brothers and sisters of perpetual victimness, we shall defend you with our bare hands against the evil doers!

I see the gospel of perpetual victimness being preached. In chapter 7, section 3:
Woe is the victim that attendeth town meeting. Yea shall cower and and not shout "you missed the count" loudly (as did sister Andrea). Yea shall be awarded bountiful time over the intimidating scoundrels in our quest to supress peace and togetherness. Long may you live in your victimness or until yea shall findeth the courage to speak the truth through words or pen"

in the greater intrest of peace i found this quote perfect.....

"Your government is only as good as the people you elect.” from alan slavin......


vote for better people in our goverment april 6.........

WOW!!!
Brother BillW of Peace presents a groovy thing, man...I am hypnotized!!!
Big HUG to you, brother Bill.
Peace, cuz...

HAM of Peace asked me to post the following:
As much as we all know that HAM of Peace is our supreme Karma dude...he is in a total funk.
He is confused and aggravated by not being able to let loose on the troll. He is fighting it with every fiber of his being.
BUT...he knows, it is up to him to show us the way. The way of peace. The way of love and happiness. The way to hug and love all brothers and sisters of all races and creeds and political leanings. Hug those who have transgressed against us and our families and Town.
He spreads the message of love with great reservation. But...he is the messenger of love..and he accepts the mantle of leadership.
Love and peace to you all from the HAM of Peace.

P.S. He wanted me to remind everyone that...if he gets pissed off...all bets are off.
However, he is pleased to know that there are many other bearers of love to carry the message.

I'd be glad to help but my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be......
....And I'll tell you something else....My memory isn't as sharp as it used to be!

....An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar, and.......
shuckey-darn !....I can't remember how it goes.........Help me Dan !

Dan I can understand your confusion. I have heard from friends, that if you roll one first you will then be able to consume mass quantities of grapes at one sitting.

Kinsailman brings up a good point...but because we are the Peace group, I think that we could actually seek Irishmen, Englishmen and Scotsmen from this site of Peace to go out for a "wee one"....Love and peace...

Not mine..

An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman all walk into a bar, the barman shouts:
"What the hell is this? Some kind of a joke?"

another..

A Scotsman, an Irishman, and an Englishman are each sentenced to a year in solitary confinement; before being locked away, each is to be granted a year's supply of whatever he wants to help him get through the long, long spell alone.

The Scotsman asks for a year's supply of whisky; it's given to him and he's locked away.
The Irishman asks for a year's supply of Guinness so he's locked up with several thousand bottles of it.
The Englishman asks for a year's supply of cigarettes and he's given a pile of cartons and the cell door is shut on him.
One year later, the doors are all unlocked.

The Scotsman staggers out and shouts, 'I'm free!' and then keels over dead from alcohol poisoning.
The Irishman is dragged out into the light, whereupon he promptly dies of liver failure.
When the door to the Englishman's cell is opened, everybody watches eagerly to see what sort of a wreck the man has made of himself.

To their surprise, he walks right out the door, sidles up to the first person he sees, and asks, 'I say you wouldn't happen to have a match, would you?'

more??

3 guys, 1 Irish, 1 English and 1 Scotch, are walking along the beach one day and come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
"I give you each one wish, that's three wishes in total", says the Genie.
The Irish guy says, "I am a fisherman, my Dad's a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity."
So, with a blink of the Genie's eye "AlKaZoom" the oceans were teaming with fish.
The English guy was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that nothing will get in for all eternity.
Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye "AlkaZoom - POOF" there was a huge wall around England. The Scot asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out."
The Scot says, "Ach, fill it up with water."

ok, last one..

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were sitting in a bar, drinking, and discussing how stupid their wives were. The Englishman says, "I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the supermarket and bought £250 worth of meat because it was on sale, and we don't even have a fridge to keep it in." The Scotsman agrees that she sounds pretty thick, but says his wife is thicker. "Just last week, she went out and spent £17,000 on a new car," he laments, "and she doesn't even know how to drive!" The Irishman nods sagely, and agrees that these two woman sound like they both walked through the stupid forest and got hit by every branch. However, he still thinks his wife is dumber. "Ah, it kills me every toime oi tink of it," he chuckles. "Moy woife just left to go on a holiday in Greece. Oy watched her packing her bag, and she must have put about 100 condoms in there. And she doesn't even have a penis!"

In a moment of peace and clarity, the following was posted in response to Mick Jones, Vice Chairman of the Charter Review Committee.

Repost:
Good morning Mick! I hope all is well with you.

One of the more interesting points you have touched on is the participation in town meeting versus the participation in town elections. You qualify those counts as “small” and “large”. In reference to the number of registered voters in Wareham (approximately 15,000), I would consider both numbers small. In general, there seems to be a disconnect between the voters and their right to attend town meeting or vote in town wide elections. As the Vice Chairman of the Charter Review Committee, I would think that issue would have been a very large topic of discussion. Is it your opinion that by eliminating town meeting, that will increase the citizens that flock to the poll? Is this based on any sort of polling or statistical research completed by the Charter Review Committee before deciding to change the form of government?

I also find it peculiar that you insinuate that the concern is purely about winning and losing. I think that is a bit unprofessional and bias. Is “stacking the vote” the same as informing citizens on the articles at town meeting and encouraging them to attend? If so then I would submit that calls made from a phone bank encouraging registered voters to attend and misinforming them about articles on the warrant would be considered “stacking”. However, it didn’t work. Maybe it is about losing more than winning? Many of the voters who did attend town meeting received those calls and still voted down the article in question. I do agree with you that stacking town meeting has not worked.

One point you seem to be overlooking, no one is excluded from attending town meeting. It is open to all registered voters in Wareham. That is a fact and no amount of twisting will change that fact. If voters do not attend town meeting, then they miss their opportunity to speak out or simply vote on the articles. If you are successful in changing the structure of the town government, you still have not addressed voter apathy. I would consider that a more important issue than any changes to the structure. Since there was no chance for the citizens to weigh in on that topic before the committee decided to ignore our existing Charter, then the question remains, who does the change benefit? A prime example of voter apathy is the low turnout for the public meetings held by your committee. If you consider 500 at town meeting “small”, what do you consider the 50 citizens who attended your public information session? If a structural change is going to fix all the issues of Wareham, where are the citizens that support it?

On the issue of non-binding referendums, the jury is still out. Since it is an opinion poll, how will the new administration choose to use the results? Based on the carefully crafted wording, there can be several conclusions. Since not one of our elected officials or the Charter Review Committee took the time to actually consult the citizens of Wareham, it leaves many wondering who exactly does our administration work for.

That really good article by Andrea Smith forgot to mention that during town meeting, she can be heard (I was 6 rows up and in the middle) yelling “You missed the count”. It didn’t sound like she feared for her life. In fact, as much as I have been criticized, threatened, and abused at a certain chat forum (Andrea and you participate in the forum) an intelligent person would conclude that the words “intimidation” and “fear” are just used to rally sympathy. People that truly are in fear for their life and feel intimidated do not make comments such as “I feel another column coming on” or “Sorry, hit the post button by accident - I meant to say "One, two three all in unison "old MacDonald had a farm" eyi eyi oh my head.". Does that sound like the frightened person who wrote that article?

I think it’s time to stop equating town meeting to a MMA match.
