Oh, and something I left out of last night's list which should have been listed roward the top: establish a Department of Peace and fund it adequately. Sure, we have "War Department" even if we don't call it that and that isn't working. Maybe we are doing some things which are just plain wrong in the world that a Department of Peace could bring to out collective attention. Maybe we could put more money in helping folks build hospitals and schools thru such a department and less on arms. Maybe we could use advertising money in both domestic foriegn markets to change the culture of thinking in folks who are way too quick on the trigger finger. This department could hire a mix of advertising folks, psycologists, theologans, socialologist and folks who know how to restore power or build pro-human structures such as theaters, sewage treatment plants, schools, etc...
Yeah, what the world need is to cahnge the current downward spiral of war, war and more war. It only benefuts the rich while leaving the rest of the folks either paying for it or dieing from it... Yeah, a Department of Peace...
