Unmanaged Facebook Post
Though I signed this petition and I added that I am skeptical that as long as our nation glorifies violence in its foreign policy, militarizes its police, and "Copifies" it's civilian security (TSA) that we will ever successfully decrease outbursts of senseless violence by individual citizens.
If President Obama and Congress continue to glorify remote violence of illegal executions by drones, what does that teach our children about solving problems and the rule of law?
Dismantling the military industrial complex, the empire it supports, the national security state and commit ourselves to rebuilding community in the coming generations must be part of a real vision to diminish the predominance of violence in our society and world.
If there were ever a moment for a Department of Peace, maybe this is it.
