3. A Civil War would fail
It is simply impossible to win against violence with violence. I am not just saying this because I watched the Gandhi movie, and I have adopted some script to my own philosophy of non-violent resistance to War-- and hate.

I say it would fail because—a civil war is strategically impossible to accompolish, and even if the--one in a million chance-- it was pulled off, those that would be in power would be no different—then those that were thrown out.

It really is quite simple to change the world-- and it does not require a civil war, or any great spiritual or political formulas, or acts of great merit propagated all thru the media beast.

It is as simple as changing ones own being, if a person can change themselves to the person that they are, then the world will change without any effort of the the person, and to also make it a point-- when one can--to not cooperate with the extremist Republican agenda, whenever one practically can.
