Perhaps one would find out if one had the funds to do so, Amos? Certainly plenty of government money has gone to fund finding answers about weapons of war, why not to answer those about peace which you've just brought up? How will we ever know if someone isn't brave enough to look into it and seek the answers with adequate funding? Hell, the money spent finding out if Clinton really had a blowjob or not would've been a good start, though I doubt Ken Starr would have been the appropriate investigator.

Einstein also said something to the effect of we cannot simultaneously prepare for war and expect peace.

There has to be a fundemental change in the way people think in order for there to ever be a chance. If we had a Dept. of Peace, even if all it did was produce enough ads of positive imput to counteract all of the negativity people are bombarded with, day in and day out, it would be worth it. If one tells a child, every day of their life, that they are worthless, ugly etc., eventually they will believe it and manifest it in their lives. Same goes for positive imput, but what a different manifestation one expects and can receive!

Claymore, some may think it an affectation of mine, but I prefer British spelling, hence the "generalisation."
