" You're asking for proof. You're asking for a chizzeled in stone guarentee. I can't give that to you, troll."
No. I was asking if you had a solution. You don't. Why didn't you just say that in the first place?
You say you have a vision? All I've seen so far is a little brainstorming that was not terribly origional.
Solving problems without violence is a laudable goal and MOST international problems do get solved that way. It's called diplomacy.
Support Sen Kucinichs' bill to create a Dept. of Peace. Which will do what? I mean besides suck up even more tax money.
Call a MANDATORY Peace Conference. Please see my comments re. World Dictatorship.
An ad campaign might have a chance in the industrialized nations but, believe it or not, there are countries where not every home has running water, never mind TV. They are too busy staying alive to be concerned with international chic.
So far you've said nothing that wasn't proposed in the '60's with the possible exception of the Dept. of Peace and thats got to be a joke.
I mean, the Government is the problem, right? They are the ones who start the wars with their policies. So a Government Department is going to FIX everything? I don't recall any time where a new Government Department hasn't ultimately made things worse while spending huge sums of money.
Tax Money; your money and mine.
You're not out of the box yet; but keep trying.
