Well, LH, all one has to do is look at the world's "super power" as a role model... Purdy bad role model... Certainly ain't one who has the aptience to sit down with folks and try to find common ground... No, the US has demonstarted over4 and over its my-way-or-the-highway foreign policy under various presidents...

We need a drastic change in thinking in ourselves and reshape ourselves and our attitudes...

I mean, just look at how divided we are... Look at way that Martin views "Never Again"... Me and mine... He couldn't care less if genocide is practiced on other folks... Or if he does he never gets around to mentioning it... That's purdy messed up thinking that can only lead to an atmosphere where genocide is okay as long as it ain't me and my homies... That's no change at all... All that guarentees is a greater chance the you-'n-yer's number will come up 'casue you'-'n-yers din't stand up when it was the other folks blood on the killin' floor...

No one ever said that peace ie easy... Or even all that peacefull in fighting (with ideas, gol dangit...) to create but at some point in time the American people are going to have to muster the courage to stop the war monger/corportists among them... And, yes, it will involve a shift in how we spend our resources... The military/industrialists are going to have to do some major retoolin' 'or shut down their businesses...

But it will come... I my life??? I'm not sure... But I am sure it will come... The alternative is too frightening and irresponsible...
