clothes
blankets

3. I agree
That Israel would viewed a lot more favorably if they would engage more with food, supplies and the like then just bombs and soldiers. This will not end as long as more and more generations are brought up with hate.

4. YES , let's start giving instead of taking.
We're going to have to keep those who are currently employed in the military industries working. This is the big issue. Change the context in which we operate. It's no longer about oil. It's no longer about force.

Find new economies in order to keep people employed, but doing something productive.

Forward, not in reverse. We spent 8 years in reverse. Now look at the mess. What could have been for trillions of dollars. What could have been can still be.

Let's abandon our damaging practices. And the world will be a better place.

Change the energy: Build merry-go-round pumps!

President Obama, in the Inaugural Address, spoke the words "ask your people to show you what you BUILD, not what you Destroy"..

A standard is a standard.

I will hold him to his words!

6. Change the context. Bring everyone's standard of living up.
It can be done with far less carbon emissions (and suffering) than the way we've been doing it.


Thanks! I now have to go back and review Obama's speech. There were a lot of little important statements within it.

That garden was cool!
