is world peace attainable

world peace
is it attainable?
not yet.

Plausible?
not here.

Possible?
maybe some day
not this day

not while the NRA rules
and young men are the first ones sent to the front as fodder
while old men collect pensions and lifetime salaries

things might change if we sent senators and congressmen to the front
after they declare wars on other countries

Hi Caren,since man first stepped on this earth there's been war, can't see anything changing. Maybe things would have been different if the ladies were in charge.

I do think if the grandmas were in charge, there would be no more young people being sent to war.
