“My own concern is primarily the terror and violence carried out by my own state, for two reasons. For one thing, because it happens to be the larger component of international violence. But also for a much more important reason than that; namely, I can do something about it. So even if the U.S. was responsible for 2 percent of the violence in the world instead of the majority of it, it would be that 2 percent I would be primarily responsible for. And that is a simple ethical judgment. That is, the ethical value of one’s actions depends on their anticipated and predictable consequences. It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else. That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that took place in the 18th century.”

if …
we had no soldiers, police, guns and other arms, nuclear armaments
we had less disparity and less greed
we had more humility, patience, empathy, and forgiveness
we wouldn’t have War
(globally and domestically … in Earth’s beautiful homes and habitats
for wonderful and wonderous biota)
if …
we all practiced “Less Is More!”
and living within the limits of the natural resource base
and sharing toward equity
we wouldn’t have War!
…………………..
we must know …
that a country with a military and armaments is not great
what we must do to realize PEACE and be great
(but we just won’t)
if!
