Gandhi said the leader of the Indian independence movement was “the small still voice within.” Each of us has an internal guidance system which, when we learn to listen to it, will tell us how we can best participate in the repair of a broken world.

Our biggest challenge is to rethink the world. In the words of Albert Einstein, “imagination is more important than knowledge.” We should imagine what we really want the world to be and then work back from there.

I’m not naive. I didn’t say there was no place for armed police. Never said that.

What’s moronic is to settle for an endless string of militaristic misadventures and consider it an inescapable status quo.

The Institute of Peace is a good thing but it has no actual political power.

The State Department works only on international issues; a Department of Peace would have a domestic as well as international component.

That is what they’re called, but in too many cases no longer what they do.

1000%. Another reason we need a Department of Peace. Our over-reliance on brute force both domestically and internationally is a throwback to mistaken notions from the 20th Century that could prove deadly (in some cases already do) in the 21st.
Trained, trauma-informed interventionists should respond to domestic violence situations. Unarmed mental health experts should respond to mental and behavioral health crises. Not armed police.

The political/media industrial complex had a pre-prescribed conversation, and a pre-prescribed list of people they were willing to allow into the conversation. What voters were presented with was an illusion of choice.

Yeah. What you think MSNBC is before you run for president, and after you run for president, are two completely different things.

To whatever extent that’s true, it’s a civics issue that we allow them to do it.
