What do you think would happen if our government had a Peace Department? I suspect having a federal focus for Peace might expand our awareness of the real price we pay when Peace is abandoned. It could counterbalance our tendency to see force as an effective solution. This falls under the heading of "if you build it they will come" or "what you focus on expands". A Peace Department could make both the moral and economic case for Peace at the highest level of government. Justice, commerce, education, health and war all have federal emphasis. It's about time Peace had the same.
This Saturday 11/21 at the Corte Madera, CA Town Center Lorrie Norby will talk about her intention to create a U.S. Department of Peace! If you would like to lend support or attend the meeting contact Lorrie at 415 381-2157 or lnorby@post.harvard.edu.
