We must think differently in order for things to change. We must live peace in order to have peace. Idiots like Bob and Joe are holding the human race back and leading us into more war and destruction. -- Anonymous

Inner peace is certainly a good way to go; however, exterior peace can also be achieved by absolute desolation -- it is very peaceful a few days after a nuclear bomb. And to Rest In Peace is to be dead! So maybe a little hustle and bustle isn't so bad... ;-) -- Chicago
Evidence of its truth: Ghandi lead India to push out the English without a physical weapon. He used peace as the way. -- rob, ny, ny
