War against Violence
Is there a way the War on Terror can be coopted to becoming a greater War against Violence? It would seem to change the scope and perspective of the whole thing.

or is it S. I I for P R?

is a great source for research on war, violence in general and methods to end both.

eg.. their journal found "most humans have lived in peacetime"

2. to get your idea off the ground
that will be the hard part.

its a good idea

try setting up a site.

call in to AAR talk shows
======================
also look into helping spread the Norway push to end school bullying.

i think Mich or Wiscon is putting the norway plan into action, or thinking of doing so

to end street crime in the US, you can do that with Jobs for All. Joblessness causes hunger causes street crime {burglaries, mugging, carjacking}. see my sig for the heavyweight site with GALBRAITH AND REICH.

learn the facts to refute racists who averr that "blood/genes of inferior races makes them cause all our violent crime" .

only by ending this myth will folks pay attention to the real cause: joblessness. 14 mill job shortage causes 12 mill hungry, causes street crime.

good luck , excellent idea.
