Many thanks to Georgios, Peter Fogel, JoAnne Green and all who place their comments here in an attempt to create awareness and to try to make the earth a better place. We must realize that often, conscious or unconsciously we give power to other people to use force against other people to take their lives, liberty or property. Think about this, oppressors of all times use violence as their first tool or weapon; but they also use MONEY and WORDS. This last, perhaps the most overlooked for its own nature but equally damaging to humankind; if you have red 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' by Robert Kiyosaki you may recall the part where he refers to the mental laziness, that’s how powerful the words are. Therefore, lets encourage the thinking, the talking and the most important the acting. "These men---, the politicians,...-use their position, their knowledge, and their power of disseminating misinformation to arouse and stimulate the latent instinct for bloodshed. When they have succeed, they say they are reluctantly forced to war by the pressure of public opinion" - Bertrand Russell, 'War and Non-Resistance,'1915
