What if We Traded Guns for Goats!

War or Peace we have a choice. The recent events in Arizona indicate we have made the wrong one! Why after such a tragic event, would legislation be considered allowing professors and student to carry concealed weapons? Has not the "Right to bare (bear) arms " gone too far? What about the "right to life" a concept also embrassed by those who promote guns as a way to peace. What an oxymoron. A serious conflict exists between those who promote war as a solution to world peace and those who promote peace. harmony and respect, with every family having food on their table (a goat), and the ability to work and prosper.

Terrorism doesn't start in the caves of Afghanistan/ Pakistan , it  starts at home in our own neighbour hoods, In USA more people die from terrorist acts at home than those committed by an outsider. When the Berlin Wall fell we celebrated as now the world economy would benefit from a "peace dividend". But the political will has spent this dividend on wars in the guise of protecting democracy and freedom. Imagine spending it on goats instead of guns!

  1. Hard to give a lot of credence to an article containing misspellings and poor grammar , no matter how well-intentioned.
