>It is my observation that some find war as a solution to conflict much more promising and easier to envision than peace.<
mine too claud & i have always thought this to be so odd...like you, i have always felt war was a bad idea... i've always been amazed at the tremendous resources that go into the war machine (intellectual, strategic, monetary, etc) & i've always wondered what this world would look like if all of those resources were placed in support of peaceful resolutions & environmentally protective measures (the 2 are so intertwined) i consider myself both an idealist & a pragmatist & i have learned how much the power of manifestation lies in the seeds of dreaming.... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
