And so it begins…
We started sending out the call yesterday to any, and all, potential sites, organizations and individuals who seem to care about the concept and implementation of World Peace. So far just a single response, but, hey, it’s still early…
For any of you who happen to stumble upon this site please send a link to all your contacts. The only way this will work is through a ground-swell movement beginning from the grass-roots bottom and working its way upward. This is a chance for you, personally, to make a difference.
I applaud anyone out there who is putting forth the effort to make this world a better place. But let’s face it, folks, most of our attempts at change have been like putting a bandaid on cancer. It may feel good, it may do some good, but ultimately, it won’t cure the disease.
What’s needed is drastic and dramatic action. The powers that be regard us as idealistic flakes. We carp, complain and cry about injustice, inequality, political repression, environmental degradation—the list seems endless, and our voices go unheeded.
They need a good kick in the ass to get their attention, and this is it.
Wishing for World Peace isn’t going to make it so. It’s only going to come about if we force the issue, force those in charge to come to the table—even if they have to be led kicking and screaming, figuratively speaking, of course…
We have the opportunity, albeit in a small window of time, to use the energy out there: the energy of the Occupy Movement; the energy on the Arab Streets; the energy on collage campuses; the energy of the unemployed, the downtrodden, and the disenfranchised; the energy of anyone who fears for our future and wishes for a better life and a brighter tomorrow.
If we can harness that energy, together, we can change the world.
