Harry Browne: The Pitstop Ploughshares But listen to the Pitstop Ploughshares group for a few minutes and it becomes obvious that they're not putting their faith in any such nod-and-a-wink "Irish solution".

At the Shannon 'peace camp' the Ploughshares 5 came together and planned their action in a matter of less than two weeks. www.counterpunch.org /browne06212003.html   (1416 words)

Morphing swords into ploughshares - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM His comment, "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness", has been a metaphor for the phenomenon of extracting beneficial things from even the most evil of circumstances.

It was more like a plea than a prediction, but ironically, has come true with a sharp twist. www.jamaicaobserver.com /columns/html/20050527T200000-0500_81258_OBS_MORPHING_SWORDS_INTO_PLOUGHSHARES.asp   (1077 words)
