Fighting only leads to more fighting, more resentment, more unnecessary, soul destroying, premeditated killings, more loss of the quality of life for those left alive ... the horror of the rape of 'our' natural resources.

Common sense should tell us, I believe, that peace, ie., problems being solved, will give hope of decent futures, something to be proud to tell our children about,something for their families to look forward to.

Finally, looking at each other as human beings, if not on the same page, as least on the same planet ... breathing the SAME air!!! Why not?

Our survival, as a species, would seem to depend on cooperation, mutual respect,and right of individual opinion ... equal voice in policies that affect all of us and our families.

We all need to row in the same direction, if we ever hope to successfully evolve, on this planetary boat, and to do that we need to come to a basic irrefutable agreement, as to our actions, considering our highest shared priorities for a peaceful coexistence ... a listing of our top 'in common' beliefs. We could start with our top ten ... starting with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!!!

Human rights, resource protection, food management, the right of existence, physically, mentally, and spiritually, discovery development guidelines ... sharing, in regards to needs ... basic human rights; clean water, and air ... quality food, personal safety ... a decent job ... adequate shelter.

Any real fix can only happen if we work together. That won't happen until we stop fighting. Time seems to be one of those 'shared' issues, or at least the lack of it, at the rate we are going ... the bodies are piling up daily.

This ship can still turn and chart a new course ... 'Yes we can!' ... get together, and make truth matter, about what it is that is truly important to our survival ...................... if we want to.
