    What could be more needed today then peace ? How do we expect to help others attain peace when we ourselves cannot even control our mind ?, let alone how can we expect nations to be at peace with one an other when they are not even at peace with themselves.

    I have a t-shirt that says, "Give Peace a Chance," and has a peace sign on it. It is one of my favorites.

    Well it never will unfortunately. I think the scariest type of people in the world are those who are at peace with themselves, but have no problem inflicting unimaginable cruelty on those around them in the outside world.

    I don't think human nature is naturally good, so I think your dream is unrealizable. As long as there are people like the ones I've described above, which will be always.

    Cheer up Knight! Spread the Peace Man! :)
    I liked the song Zach, but it gave me the kind of headache I get when my band played Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the first time :o
    I'd like that tea-shirt Meez :)
    Love & Peace

    I wasn't being cheerless. I'm just being realistic. There will never be world peace. There will always be murderers, thieves and criminals, either in gangs or at the head of nations.

    I know, you just peed in the flow... :lol:

    It's a shame though, ah well, we're each one person so as long as we're each peaceful we're doing our part for the population ;)
