New Peace

So this was one of my first facebook notes (my functional predecessor to blog spot), and it is one of my favorites and one of the few posts I can look at after an extended period of time (nearly two years) and say that my opinion has changed very little. Let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy!

New Peace. That would be sweet. A new Peace movement. In which not only do we stand firm against wars and violence. In which we look at why people say there are wars, and we completely extirpate any possible root causes. So we strive to partner for economic development, and we talk and listen and debate and come to respect and understanding of a Western-Islamic ideological difference that in no way needs to be a source of contention. In which we do everything everyone says is simply idealistic, in which we live it, just to give peace a chance. Giving peace a chance. Because we've written peace off for so long, giving it a chance would be so refreshing. So new peace everyone. New peace.
