Peace is a relationship between *ANY* people characterized by respect, justice, and goodwill. The early English term is also used in the sense of "quiet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet>", reflecting a calm, serene, and meditative approach to the family or group relationships that avoids quarreling and seeks tranquility <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranquility> — an absence of disturbance or agitation. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug Sent on the go! _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
