Militarism is more than actual war and fighting – it becomes a way of thinking, a way of life. It has subtle dimensions and unforeseen consequences which affect the way we work and live.

Vermont Action for Peace is organizing a five session study group investigating militarism in everyday life. We will use The Hollywood War Machine (2d. Ed. 2016) by Carl Boggs and Tom Pollard as the basis for a wider ranging discussion. If interested, please contact Paul Erlbaum (802-249-0861 or garlicmountain@gmail.com) to receive readings in advance of the sessions. It is not necessary to purchase the book or to attend every session; it would be ideal to read the portion to be discussed prior to each session you attend. Participation is free; donations to defray costs accepted.

The study group will be held on five Sunday afternoons 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm -- January 14, 28, February 11, 25, March 11. We will be meeting at the Plainfield Friends Meetinghouse, 203 Martin Meadow Drive, Plainfield VT. For those unable to attend in person: Paul will be glad to send you the readings; you are welcome to share your comments via email.
