   With so many guns & bombs in this world will we ever move beyond a mindset of kill or be killed?

   Here it is... If you want to change the mindset, change the plot. Rewards
   for peace, for coming to peaceful conclusions, rewards for clever diplomats
   who actually achieve peace together, reward actors/actresses who play parts
   where they resolve something peacefully...promote peace and war doesn't seem
   so interesting. In other words, violence and war movies take back stage. We
   don't want them anymore; they're sick and disgusting. We don't look at awful
   stuff anymore, not fighting, not war, not foolishness. The movie industry will
   go in the direction of their audience; that's where the money is. So if no one
   wants to play foolish games.... the games are concluded.

   The plot aint changed for at least a few thousand years. Why do you think it will change now.

   One has only to look at our history books to see that death and destructions is a central theme. Simply put we are not learning and now our weapons are far more dangerous.

   Sadly, to many want to play the games for they know no other way. And yeh hollyweird is a big part of the problem.

   Art imitates Life.

   Are you certain of that?

   I would think that art and life inform each other. And I am not even certain about that.

   It starts within each of us. What we think.,,,what we want..what we can
   do for ourselves and as each of us changes ourselves imperceptibly, so too
   does the consciousness of this planet. It starts here, now,
   There will come a day when a person talks about violence and someone
   says "That is so caveman of you!" If you are feeling violent, run a couple
   of dozen miles, split a pile of wood, swim six miles, do a marathon, build a house or vent it in a constructive non-violent way... but vent anger, hostility, nastiness, even the thought of revenge. Either vent it or walk away from it, but refuse to participate...

   "An eye for an eye would send the whole world blind" - Gandhi

   Yet we still continue to bomb
   To mame and to kill in the name of freedom
   This surely must it must be wrong
   So why is it taking us so so long
   To recognise what must be done
   To see the Truth in everyone
   To truly believe that we are all one
   So we can live together peacefully in compassion

   Abs: It starts inside you. Believe already that what you
   want has come to pass inside yourself.

   And stop listening to so much TV and radio....all they are broadcasting
   is negative events... You know this planet is 99 and 99/100's percent
   peaceful people... It is that .01% that is being projected and focused
   upon.

    I enjoy the news though, although I know recognise its power to condition towards a biased view. I still watch the one that appears to project the most liberal views.

    IMO, the media is such a powerful tool and yet it is used to control instead of enlighten.

    I favor the news outlets with the most liberal views, but I also occasionally check with the more conservative views, to see what's being said.
