1. That is a great point

No one listens. Either side it's about control and power not policy.

2. We need a Department of Peace

and revive the art of negotiation, rehire all of those translators who were fired and train more. Money and war profiteering is destroying the planet, and what we reap overseas WILL come here.

[Moostache]

3. We need more women like her in Congress NOW! (n/t)

4. kick….

5. The policy responsible for the most harm, the most problems our country faces, is the policy

that allows Lobbiests to legally bribe our elected representatives! Because they can do that, defense contractors can spend millions and reap trillions getting us into wars and police actions around the world to sell us more weapons systems and ammunition. They can oppose us on rational gun restrictions no matter how many of us want them and always win! They can bankrupt our public education system and keep up the failure of the war on drugs and they love to lock us up in private prisons.

We need to stop the root problem to be able to solve many of our most serious problems. Why is this so hard to understand?

6. It's not hard to understand

The problem is Peace Is Not Profitable. Profits come above all else, senseless wars, destroying the planet, senseless killings such as Orlando, the list goes on. If there is no money to be made who cares.

7. I think there will be profits to be made, but they require new investment and development that they

don't want to make. Many businesses would have to convert to a different business. Like oil companies moving for real into renewable energy and power companies into redoing our electric grid and making money off of transmission and energy tracking.

Years ago when we were litigating against BP for their Texas City Texas refinery explosion that killed 15 and injured thousands, BP had their new Green Energy logo and were bragging about their renewable energy developments. They tried dumping 7 million documents on us to hide their dirt. We went through it all. One of the many things we found besides what they had to plead guilty to felonies for, was a document that showed their PR campaign for their green energy projects. They spent $100,000,000 million on their ad campaign, but only 5 million for the actual projects!
