That’s one of two new Peace Poles installed around the peninsula by the Rotary Club of West Seattle
I like the gesture but unfortunately I don’t think we’ll see poles in the top watched things on Tick Tock or Reddit.Com.My nephew is on his Nintendo 24/7. He watches Tick Tock and is always swiping his phone to the next weird thing people like me don’t understand.He doesn’t contemplate anything. Much less world peace or the symbolism of some poles. And he’s the age that should be thinking about these things.I graduated in 2001 and we had no idea how the world would end up but it’s weird and I miss Real World Road Rules challenge.
Maybe it’s time to do a nephew bonding drive, visit all the peace poles in West Seattle and talk about what they mean and where they came from. That’s my plan with my son. Talk about Hiroshima and how these Peace Poles came to be.
Everybody is for peace. It’s peaceful in the mountains. It’s peaceful on the moon. It’s peaceful in North Korea. It’s peaceful in Tibet. It was peaceful in Crimea after Putin stole it from Ukraine. What kind of peace do these pole-setters want and what are they willing to sacrifice to get it? (If you liked this rant, ask me about calls for “unity”.)
Sorry, comment time is over.
