We need a Department of Peace because it is unsustainable to respond to increased human conflict by simply building more prisons or dropping more bombs. 1/5

Wherever large groups of people are desperate, there are seeds of conflict. As long as we are unwilling to do everything possible to ameliorate the despair, we are supporting systems of incarceration and war that are ultimately a continuation of the violence. 3/5

We need a President who sees and understands this and is not afraid to say it. The Doomsday Clock is ticking closer to midnight, while we go along blindly with a system that spells more and more risk to the survivability of the species. 4/5

Yes! More government! We should even ban private business and have government run everything and have tons of committees and research groups! Love it!!

The heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things; who can know it? People are enticed by their own evil desires. When those break a law, we need a justice system that will imprison those.

Can you discuss the "Love bill" vs the "Justice bill". How do you plan to pass both. Do you prioritize love or justice? Love and justice both sound great. I hope you win the Presidency and shepard the love bill through Congress. Oh, and the justice bill too. And the peace bill?

Actually, Marianne, the most important problem with the world today is the dim memory of the horror of war as generations come of age without it. -- Would Hamas do Oct 7 if they had clear understanding of what would inevitably follow?
