Department of Peace And Nonviolence

September 14, 2005 at 7:49 pm | In Uncategorized |

I’m not big on political solutions or spending vast amounts of time lobbying. That said, this news, via Mousemusings and Common Dreams, that Congressman Dennis Kucinich today reintroduced legislation to create a cabinet level Department of Peace and Nonviolence is good news.

The legislation, first introduced in the 107th Congress, embodies a broad-based approach to peaceful and nonviolent conflict resolution at both domestic and international levels. The Department of Peace and Nonviolence would serve to promote nonviolence as an organizing principle in our society, and help to create the conditions for a more peaceful world.

  1. I think Dennis is in it for the long haul change programme. He must know there’s no way, currently, the television-fueled rage dreamers will accept something like that now.

    He’s one of the few people on elected office I admire. I lost interest in the popularity contest once he was out.
