They only see war as a way to assume more power and wealth for them and corporate America.

We must also change...change ourselves, our mindsets, each other,… Continue

Hope
In 2002, my wife and I found this small two bedroom farm house with 101.5 acres of land. The house was built in 1927 and needed repairs but we saw it's potential. Today our small house has a new heat pump and plumbing and is painted. We have started repairing the windows and as I speak, roofers are hammering overhead with our new roof. We have had to turn a few quests away over the years due to on going repairs but we are happy. Our two son's love our house and the endless " Hundred-acre woods"… Continue

I think in this life I will not be able to influence the humanity to adopt PEACE POWER as a tool of growth and development.I propose to retire.
