In Bloomington, Indiana on December 5, 1999, Byron C. Bangert addressed the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church, advocating that we should
"pray for the end of the world as we know it".
"Pray for the end of violence and greed, of wars and rumors of war, of famine and disease run riot, of false remedies and false gods, of hatred and betrayal within families and across our divisions of race and creed and clan. Pray that no one may claim special privilege due to ancestry or religious practice, and that no one will take advantage by means of official status or social power, and that those who have more than enough will give to those who need. Pray that all will have a place at the table, whether it be the table where decisions are made or the table where meals are shared. Pray for the end of the world as we know it......"
I think that mantra could make the world a better place in which to live. -RKO- 07/15/07

Use our Brains to think and act responsibly. Be good to ourselves and others. Be in tune with the environment and make informed decisions on consuming energy or creating waste.

We could start by learning tolerance of those who are different than we are. We can learn to stop judging people based on skin color, religion, culture, sexual preference, and beliefs. We can stop being so thin skinned that every little thing sets us off. We can learn to accept people as they are and not by what we expect them to be.

In its simplest form within society and the environment:
BE NICE to one another. This does mean saying yes to every dumb idea but just smiling and saying "no, thanks"; and just like at your mom's house: pick up after yourself and fix what you break. If everyone did this, believed this, it would be so much better. Mean, rude people make everything worse.
