Yes, there is plenty going on in the world that sucks bigtime. In the US and everywhere.

What I'd be curious to know is, what is happening these days with the Arab-Israeli peace efforts that were occurring between individuals and settlements? Sometimes it's the small-scale approaches that end up tipping the Big Picture. (Berlin Wall, USSR, apartheid, etc.) Yes these efforts (just listed in parens) also are not yet perfected but they did allow for a lot of change, and IMO THAT degree of change is what will persist and,hopefully take root and grow.

So anyone know, what are the small hopeful signs one can encourage, in the topic posted, before we're swamped past the ability to act while thinking, by all the wrong things happening?
