Many scholars agree human history will soon come to an end - unless we end our addiction to war.  New diabolical weapons make it possible for a few individuals to inflict massive destruction.

The most powerful nations spend billions for war -- and pennies for peace.  America leads the way.  If the money spent for devilish weapons of war to kill people were spent for peacemaking education and actions, we could soon eliminate war as a way to settle differences.   

Earth is an amazing planet with a web of life that with understanding and care can provide a great future for the whole human family.  Earth is our inheritance and our responsibility.  

We must replace Earth Kill with Earth Care.  Everyone needs to find how they can best serve this common purpose.  But first we must end man's long addiction to war. Our greatest problem is the problem of power.  The corrupting influence of power increases the desire for power.  As a result, efforts to make the most money lead many to invest in the stock that brings the greates return -- instead of the stock that does the most good.  

AUSTIN, Texas -- OK, sign me up for the Bush program. I'm aboard. Who else can we insult, offend, bribe, blackmail, threaten, intimidate, wiretap or otherwise infuriate? Getting the Canadians, who are famous for their phlegm, seriously mad at us took real work. Our latest ploy in that direction was to contemptuously reject their compromise that had a few more days' delay in it than the British-U.S. version. Then, when our version didn't fly, we decided on a few more days' delay ourselves -- without, of course, the contempt.

Then, to add to the festivities of "Let's Tick Off the Next-Door Neighbors Week," we started leaning on Vicente Fox of Mexico. Our ambassador to Mexico, Tony Garza, said: "Will American attitudes be placated by half-steps or three-quarter steps? I kind of doubt it." An unnamed American "diplomat" was quoted as saying it could "stir up feelings" here if Mexico voted against us, and does Mexico "want to stir the fires of jingoism during a war?"

Ohio Call In Day to Senator Voinovich

On Wednesday, March 12th - Friday, March 14th, join a statewide call-in day to Senator Voinovich and demand that he invest in Ohio's Families, Ohio's Future.

The problem: Ohio is facing our worst fiscal crisis since World War II. Many of the social service programs that allow our families to make ends meet, keep our children healthy and put food on our tables are under attack. As the recession continues to take away jobs from families in Ohio, many are left with no where to turn. President's Bush's "answer" to this crisis is to continue to line the pockets of the wealthiest Americans.

The solution: For the most part, talk on the national level has been focused on tax breaks that will be unjustly skewed towards the richest Americans. Leaving the majority of families out in the cold. What families in Ohio need is a plan that restores and expands funding for programs that allow families to survive. We need a plan that puts resources to families that need it the most.

Call to action: My name is _______________ from __________________ I'm calling upon Senator

Does anyone seriously believe that in the event of U.S. invasion, "discovery" of Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction won't be long delayed? The stakes are simply too high. It won't take much: a blueprint or two, a few canisters noisily identified as chemical or biological agents, a "facility" for production of nuclear munitions.

Already there are vague, unconfirmed stories of preliminary manufacture of the necessary smoking guns that can be deployed by undercover teams as U.S. troops advance and then dramatically disclosed to the hungry press. For those who entertain doubts about the likelihood of the United States or its ally Britain manufacturing necessary "evidence," consider the recent explicit charge of forgery leveled by Mohammed ElBaradei, the chief UN inspector looking for evidence of nuclear capability in Iraq.

Here's the relevant passage, from his testimony on behalf of the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A) before the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) last week:
