wage peace.
imagine a country where our spending went to stop hunger, and abuse, and promote education rather than killing. where we worked on social issues rather than imprisoning more than 2 million of our own population. we are living in an empire, where our military is larger than that of all others combined, yet our healthcare system is the worst among developed countries. what if we lived in a world where we got “civilized”, and replaced our contempt with compassion?
“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”
— James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
