			<title>In response to: Peace the Old Fashioned Way?</title>

			<description>"Peace can only be the product of voluntary human interaction." I understand and appreciate your concept of peace, and the desire behind it, but the ONLY thing "voluntary human interaction" has ever or will ever bring about is WAR. Let's face it: Everyone born into this world is rotten to the core and selfish, and we all (including you, my naive friend) want our own way. (You want proof? Go to any daycare facility and watch. No one has to teach those little darlings to want-and-take rather, they need to be taught to share.) Eventually someone has the economic/political/military power and resources to try and take what they want on a national scale, and those from whom they would take fight back. That's war. But sometimes just the threat that someone would fight back is enough to make the would-be aggressor pause and ask, "Do I really want to take the risk?" That's called "deterence." It's like a big, mean dog that keeps most would-be burglars out of your yard. Most of us who advocate "Peace, the Old-Fashioned Way" do not believe in what you call "domination" but we're not so foolish as to believe that "Peace can only be the product of voluntary human interaction."</description>

			<description>Inflation, mortgage crisis, stocks and tax problems are hitting American families today, so as unemployment. Unemployment is one of the most important economic issue we are facing today. A lot of people are frantically searching for jobs. Many job listing are not very sure, but if a person scans them constantly, they may be able to find something. Craiglist and so many others have job  opportunities. There's also Monster, Yahoo Hot Jobs, numerous others.  People looking for things such as home furnishings that don't want to have to go to eBay can look into Free Napkin , a website that has online auctions, except that everything is free, which is handy if you don't want to get a payday loan to replace your couch, or the lamp you threw across the room because you couldn't find any good job listings.

			<description>Phil, 

Stock-owned, publicly traded insurance companies - hit big-time; yes.

Mutual insurance companies; I can think of 3 right now that are doing just fine with AAA / highest possible credit ratings with all the major rating agencies.

			<description>I use Sprint and have access on past current cycle and always has been that way.  I don't have access to my current cycle, for example, I wont have Jan. calls till Feb.  I think long time ago i was able to have current calls but its been a long time.  

lets face it, all these carriers, esp. the bigger name ones all suck with their policy. and they wonder why their retention stinks.</description>

			<description>I, being very proud of my redneck and souther heritage, also have many stickers like this, a Bonnie Blue on my front porch shading my basset hound.  I am not shoving it in anyones face, but just like anything you believe in, you should be proud of, and i am.

Not all "rednecks" want the south to rise again, or slavery back.  it just goes to prove that those of you who think along those lines need to go back and get a history lesson!</description>

			<description>I am using that same method, but I am not using the bowl.  I use cardboard below the seat and Saran above.  I make a hole in the cardboard and eliminate the litter on the plastic; the hole gets bigger every 2 days until no more cardboard and then I make the Saran smaller by folding it smaller every 2 days.  So far, so good with my 16 week old Ragdoll kitten.  She is the smartest!</description>

			<description>I personally can take both sides. While marijuana is a gateway drug and can lead to other drugs such as mushrooms and other harder drugs I think that Narconon VistaBay would be a great program for thee drug users to go to. On the other hand Willie has been smoking for more years than I have been alive and I don't think that it has caused him much trouble besides being busted for doing so.</description>

			<description>Evil is going to exist and will work through humanity. Examples: Stalin and Hilter. We tried educating these guys and we tried pacifying these guys but the sad reality of the truth is that the B-52 was the only way we maintained peace with them now wasn't it? 
When you decide to accept the fact of "evil existing" then your education will become possible. Then and only then will you accept the necessity of the B-52.     </description>

			<description>Mark my words; but better yet find some valid information on the Muslims that are calling us, "infidels".  It is the people with your attitude and others unwilling to understand those Muslims attitudes that will be the downfall of the US.  It's really too bad.  I didn't want to be around for this!</description>

			<description>please attempt to always understand both sides fairly. 

the sticker is a simple message, peace through deterrence. 


as of wars resulting in peace or not, i believe many to most wars are caused by how the previous war was handeled. if you don't leave any loose ends, their will be peace. </description>

			<description>As I read through the many posts here it reminds me why I served and why I am proud of my children who are following in the same footsteps of myself and my brothers in arms.  I have flown B-52s I have served in combat zones and unfortunately I will watch my children do the same.

To say that war does not bring peace then I ask the question what does.  Chamberlin tried to work with the Germans prior to WW II and that did not work it took almost 5 years of war to attain peace.  Japan attacked us and brought the US into WWII.  We defeated them and since we have had peace between the two countries.  I can go on Korea, Kosovo, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom.  Yes I left vietnam off because I have not studied the causes or have the first hand experience on the history of the conflict.

Peace is a wonderful thing but it does not come from sitting down and talking with those who will take your rights it is maintained by those who walk the wall every day and night guarding us against those who would enslave us or take away our freedoms.  Freedom is not free.  A lot of nice euphamisms (spelling??)  Thomas Payne said "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

To me Peace the old fashioned way sticker represents through the strength of those who stand up for our rights in time of crisis  create the peace we are able to experience as americans.

All right I will get off my soap box

OBTW I have one of these stickers on truck and love the comments it generates</description>

			<description>Just my take. God? Wow! What an idea. No matter what I may "think" I am here. And that in its self just blows me away. So, God or no God wow what a deal we got going here. To say that there is no underlying force behind all of this stuff that I can see, touch or rely on is kind of small minded. But to say that there is some knowing force that some who made this it also just a little thin. I have come to accept the beauty and complexity of this mess and I have also come to accept the the "idea" of God is about a complex as the universe and sub atomic particles. Man, just to think that what ever it is produced the universe that I live in, the brain that I am attempting to use to express my own personal experience of this thing and then to send this expression and impression out into a world created by this mind is enough for me. Now, all of this said I must go with Einstein. The difference between the most learned of humans and the lest is not that great when compared to that which is knowable. The problems with human kind is that it tends to think just a little too highly of its self. In my view it was the ego in human kind that was the Angel of Darkness who thought it's self equal to God. As for God? I don't know who discovered water but it surely was not a fish.
I don't know if there is a God because I do not know what you mean by the word God when you ask the question. There are forces governing life and things and if you want to call those forces or that force God fine with me. I have had insights and understanding that came from within me that I did not know that were there, and that dose not need to be God for me but it does not offend me if you call it God. We just toss this word God around like we really know what we are talking about. I love Kurt Vahagaut (sp?) The world is made up of guessers there good guesser and bad guesser but in the end we are all just guessers. I love it. I guess I will end this blathering. 
Peace,
Karl</description>

			<description>Alas, we've come a long way since Thomas Jefferson's vision of a Republic was trashed by the Federalists. That was, of course, step one in the move toward greater authority (read: control) of the American populace by the American government. It's been downhill since then. I'm a big fan of any libertarian cause, since it's clear that civil liberties have been eroding in this country for quite some time and, honestly, I don't think most Americans recall that liberty is the basis for the founding of the country (well, that and the business interests of our elite founding fathers). Despite that, and despite the fact that Ron Paul has not ascended to the Presidency, what course of action do you feel would best let us part ways with the Fed? I ask this question in seriousness. I like the details of plans because a plan always makes a notion a real possibility. In the current climate, I can't imagine government oversight of banking going away...that said, would state and local banks operate entirely independently, offer private insurance of funds and form a loose coalition amongst themselves to set standards? That seems like the approach, but I'm interested in your thoughts (if you check these old comments!). ~Matt</description>
