In certain ways and in certain places, but definitely not all.

I said fund the military, but it should be at the rate the military says it needs - not the hundreds of billions on top of that which the mic just wants for short term profit maximization.

Ah. Maybe we're looking at a different world. But you're right. For insects it's doing okay.

Unfortunately true.

I think you mean "ideologically"

No, it would take an enlightened population - one that elects leaders with a different consciousness about peace building and the courage to stand against the military industrial complex.

Yes. The military industrial complex, how our military is used, etc, is a whole other issue. But the people who actually serve? And sacrifice? You bet I do.

When these 4 factors are present, there will statistically be more peace & less conflict in an area: expanded economic opportunities for women & educational opportunities for kids; reduced violence against women; and the amelioration of human despair. That's how you wage peace.

Among other things, he started a cold civil war here in America. He has not waged peace.

Obviously not, since God knows we're prepared for war - and the world is not at peace. If you want peace, prepare for peace.

Many in the State Dept, yes. But the Dept of Defense gets $760B a year and the State Dept gets $40B a year. In addition, the focus of our foreign policy agenda has shifted from primarily diplomatic to primarily military considerations.

The military knows how to wage war, and I respect that. But those who know how to wage peace should be given equal respect - and equal funding. Then we will be able to save the world.

Maybe you should actually read what I said.

Our current economic & political systems were devised before women had a voice in the public realm. We have a voice now but the last thing we should do is parrot ideas that prevailed before we got here. Ideas that brought the world to near ruin are not the ideas that will save it

Some of the most important members of our society are those who are experts in early childhood. Some of the most important bridges to our future are being built by teachers. People who work with children should be among the most highly prized and best paid people in our country

The most important resource we need to develop is the brain of every child. If we front end our resources to support the full biological, intellectual, cultural and compassionate flowering of children, we will pave the way to a miraculous transformation of the world.
