Ending War is a critical piece of how we avoid destroying ourselves and this planet

This Sunday, Father’s Day, please join me in a Quaker style meditation on our responsibility to stop the violence that comes from our government.  We live near the West Coast’s most important weapons transfer depot, Naval magazine Indian Island.  Weaponry shipped from here floods the Pacific basin, and has been used in Iraq, Afghanistan. Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Korea 

Our country is caught by the military industrial congressional media drug complex.   Millions have died during my lifetime from wars the United States has initiated and pursued.  Our country spends as much on its military as the next 7 countries combined. 

We spent almost 2000 times more on our military than we do on renewable energy. 11% of the military budget could fund renewable energy for every home in the U.S.  3% could end hunger in the world..

If we are to survive on this planet ending war is as important as rooting racism out of our psyches, and reducing our carbon footprint
