Another probable slap in the face for our veterans ..........
"The Peace Alliance" describes a bill to establish a "United States Department of Peace" - http://www.thepeacealliance.org/content/view/76/68/ . A feelgood attempt to "save the world for our children's children" and about as unrealistic as trying to spare 200 (desolate) square miles of ANWR from oil drilling.
There is much talk about providing nonviolent solutions to the problems of domestic and international conflict but this is idealistic more than practical as it ignores the realities of modern times as well as history and the nature of the basic human animal. Reference is also made to treating and dismantling the gang psychology - there is a naive approach if ever there was one, showing a near total lack of understanding about gang culture. A sweeping cure for poverty and bad parenting might be a marginally better approach! Then there is "rehabilitate the prison population" ... another head-in-sand objective which totally fails to comprehend the criminal mind. Recidivism is the magic word!
While it is doubtful the majority of rational people seek violence, it is equally a fact of life that violence exists and always will. We should be very concerned however as, carefully concealed within a bill such as this will be inevitable proposals to increase gun control, which always only affects the law abiding, and probably fitting in very nicely with the UN stance of banning guns world wide! "The gun" gets all the blame and always will but we have to remain vigilant as stealth attempts at attrition and erosion of the second amendment continue - often right under our noses.
The act is named "Department of Peace and Nonviolence Act" - H.R. 808 - see here for details ...
