Think of what this country could be like in 20 years if we used even half the money we’ve spent on the so-called “war on terror” ($6T) and applied it to making every public school in America a world-class palace of culture, learning and the arts.

On a trip thru the northern mountains of Veitnam in 2019 I was struck how the schools were the most celebrated structure in every community, even the most remote.

Would be nice but will never happen. People want their kids to have an advantage but not other kids.

He will judge between the nations. He’ll settle problems among many of them. They will hammer their swords into plows. They’ll hammer their spears into pruning tools. Nations will not go to war against one another. They won’t even train to fight anymore. - Isaiah 2:4

Schools have been a money pit for a long time. The more money thrown at schools the worse they become.

Imagine a world with America back in isolation and without a strong military to deter and stop evil regimes. Don't forget the lessons of history. Anyway, our government already spent & squandered too much creating the Japanification of the U.S. economy

And ... as Dr. King said ... If you add mindfulness to the mix ... in 20 years we will have a ... NEW WORLD!

Find a way to make money from it and the rich fuckers will be all in. War = money, money, money! We are sheep...always were and always will be. You are 100% right Marianne but sadly we are what we are. Greedy.
