RE: Your silence is violence (and what you can do instead)
Inaction might be the most effective action. If we all stopped participating in this mess of a society, then the mess might start to disappear. As long as we have an "us" and a "them" mentality; soldiers and hippies; democrats and republicans; capitalists and socialists; etc., etc. there WILL BE CORRUPTION AND WAR, PERIOD.
If we were to somehow tag out from this ego-game, then, and only then, will the incessant and unnecessary suffering end. Perhaps one of the super-powers are preparing a bio-weapon that will help us achieve such a state? This question is obviously a joke.
Everything within our system relies on competition and greed - translation: war and suffering. Fear and uncertainty are our "tribe's" lifeblood.
I think compassion is the key to meeting one another on common ground. I agree about competition and greed feeding fear and uncertainty until we are at an impasse.
