If peace is what every government says it seeks, and peace is the yearning of every heart, why aren’t we studying it and teaching it in schools?

Breaking America’s oil addiction would not lead to a future of sackcloth and ashes.

The most revolutionary thing anybody can do is to raise good, honest and generous children who will question the answers of people who say the answer is violence. That’s what the schools should be doing.
