I do believe a pacifist society can work. There are some countries that not only don't have an army, but also don't have a militia. The particular country I'm thinking of (Costa Rica) is also small enough they can get away with their pieceful ways. But, unfortunately, in a society as big as America, in a world with societies just as big and even bigger than ours, a pacifist way of living will never happen. As long as there are people to hate one another, as long as there are natural resources to fight over, as long as there are beliefs that seperate us, war will flourish. Sometimes the world just has to be dealt with the way it actually is. I may like, and agree with, pacifist ideals, but if Hitler stood before me, I would do my best to kill him

I've gotta be more careful.

I recently read an interesting article on religious-based environmentalism that I should forward to you, if you're interested.
