WPR: Is Peace A Dirty Word?

On March 24th, NPR reporter Daniel Zwerdling did a report for Weekend Edition on the backlash caused by the Fairmont, Minnesota, City Council’s decision to support the creation of a Department of Peace.

A month later, Wisconson Public Radio's Jean Feraca, host of "Here On Earth, Radio Without Borders," discusses that program and "Peace" as concept and action with Daniel Zwerdling, Morton Perlmutter and two of the Fairmont citizens who were part of Zwerdling's initial story.   The discussion looks at why some people seem to fear "peace" and asks if what happened in Fairmont might be typical of the country as a whole.

I found it to be a very informative discussion so I hope you will take some time to listen to the audio file linked at the site.
