• I believe the vast majority of my fellow citizens on this planet hunger for world peace. War, war, and more war. This has been the plaque of our human race since its creation. Five thousand years ago some people asked Confucius if war could ever stop. He answered yes. They then asked him if he new how. Again he answered in the affirmative. They asked him to please explain. His answer is as true now as it was 5000 years ago. Confucius taught that if a person wants world peace, first and foremost they must be at peace with themselves. Then and only then they must establish peace within their immediate family, then their extended family, then community, then city, then country, and finally the world. To be at peace with ourselves means to be at peace with our Creator who resides within each and every one of us and His natural laws which He writes on each and everyone of our souls. Do you see the power of that statement. It means each and everyone of us has the power of significantly contributing to world peace. There is a song whose verses go something like this, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me". So true! If you and I are hungry for peace we should not complain about war but to begin with ourselves and our family.
  
• I am 64 years old. Before I die it is my desire to write a book titled, "Road to Peace". It is going to draw from the above principles. It is going show the applications of these principles on the individual bases, community bases, leading up to the international bases. I am assembling a multi-culture, race, ethnic, religion/non religion, gender team to assist in this vast and challenging undertaking. If you are interested in contributing, please send me an email to the email address below. The progress on the development of this book will be outlined on this web site.
  
• Below are links to our efforts to world peace titled simply, "Road to Peace". There is also links to organizations that address peace with ourselves (i.e. assuring we and our leaders have our values aligned with principles of life) and within/between our communities. The Seeds of Peace is an outstanding organization whose mission is to bring children from historic warring factions together to better understand each other. It is much harder to hate someone with whom you have shared good times. This organization is truly planting Seeds of Peace.

• I belong to the Democratic Party, however, I do not propose one party over another. There are people of good will belonging to either party. Either party has room for improvement. The Republican Party needs to be more sensitive to social issues. The Democratic Party needs to be more sensitive to the rights of the unborn. This ties in to the Road to Peace since we cannot bring Peace to the World unless we are at peace with ourselves, and we cannot be at peace with ourselves unless our values are aligned with the laws of human interaction (Principles). Recognizing this I belong to and am active in the Democratis for Life. Please visit the link below.
