In the words of H.G. Wells, “If we don’t end war, war will end us.” It is thoroughly irresponsible of us to NOT discuss how we can create a more peaceful world. In the words of Dennis Kucinich, “We must challenge the belief that war is inevitable.” We must do this and do it now.

Given the nuclear weapons that exist today, can we afford to only have policies geared toward keeping some people from having them? Shouldn’t we also have policies geared toward creating a world in which no one would ever even think of using them?

Our national security and defense agenda is built primarily on an endless preparation for war. Yet shouldn’t we also prepare for peace?

That’s one of the many reasons why I’ll establish a US Dept. of Children & Youth. The stresses and vulnerabilities of American children overwhelm the capacity of our existing agencies to adequately deal with.

That’s why all public policy should be built around one core principle: what would help people thrive? Moving from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line is the paradigm shift needed for the 21st century, and the only sustainable option for both our economy and our humanity.

When huge corporate entities are allowed to run roughshod over the right of people to live a decent life & of the planet on which we live to thrive - & when the US govt does more to protect those corporate entities than to protect its people - it’s time for the people to step in

Most people who create wealth don’t want to feel that they do so at the expense of other people having a chance. Most consumers don’t want to feel we got a good buy on something at the expense of other people having a decent life. Our economy & gov’t should reflect human decency.

This is what happens when capitalism has no conscience: After a 2013 building collapse killed more than 1,100 people, most clothing retailers pledged to avoid dangerous factories in Bangladesh. But not Amazon. wsj.com/articles/amazon-sell…

Love is the greatest disrupter. The revolution that will change the world - spiritually, politically, and economically - is putting love for the children, love for the earth, love for each other, and love for peace before all else. #bigtruth Marianne2020.com

If we only have plans for how to treat symptoms then the symptom will simply morph over time into another one - possibly worse. A 21stC president needs to have as much understanding of underlying causes as of external effects. Only an integrative political thinker is “qualified.”

A person disconnected from empathy is a sociopath, but making that all about the president is to displace our outrage & responsibility from where it belongs. Our public policies have lacked empathy for decades. He did not create the spiritual void; the spiritual void created him.

Nothing more traditionally American than to push back against unfettered capitalism at times when it’s unmoored from ethical & moral consideration for the rights of people & care of planet: Unions, child labor laws & anti-trust laws are examples. Now is such a time. It’s our turn
