Should we move away from individual benefit and toward collective benefit of the work that we undertake and the rewards that we expect?



Can we consider the person who contributed most to the benefit of humanity the richest rather that the one who has the most…

Do you think that G W Bush and Cheney should be placed on trial for war crimes given that their justification for war that was presented to the United Nations turned out to be based on unsubstantiated information that the weapons inspectors were disputing at the time? 



Before both Gulf wars I called the White House Comments line and organized prayer groups requesting the then presidents just request a trial of Saddam Hussein for crimes that he may have been guilty of…

Just some questions to think about: 



I am asking is humanity capable of demanding our leaders lead us to peace not war? 



Is humanity capable or refusing to be lead into war?



Could humanity just collectively decide to become conscientious objectors to war and collectively say "No Thank You" when invited to participate in war? Do we have the courage to JUST SAY NO?

Lets demand the military refrain from recruiting new members in the High Schools across the country. Should we pass a law in the USA making the minimum age 21 to enlist or be drafted into the military?



Often innocent teens just seeking assistance in paying for college sign up for the military. Lets just give them other opportunities…
