All the talk of war has made me wonder how many people out there believe that violence really represents a solution to problems. Sure, we all say that violence is wrong, and we all hate the loss of life that occurs in war, but many people and many men believe that "violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived." If that's true, how can mankind ever move beyond the nasty habit of killing one another and get down to the business of BUILDING a better world? It's true that we live in a complicated world with no easy answers, but what are we doing to change it? Can we change it? Young boys still enjoy playing games that generally involve shooting, fighting, wrestling or some kind of conflict. There is rarely an interest in games that involve building, creativity, sharing, and a respect for the world around them. Why? Before you answer any of these things, I know some of you may wonder if I some "love and peace, tree-hugging, liberal pansy". I am not. Thoughts?
