06/11/2002 Entry: "Department of Peace"

Dennis J Kucinich from the 10th district in Ohio has proposed a Department of Peace.

(10) We are in a new millennium, and the time has come to review age-old challenges with new thinking wherein we can conceive of peace as not simply being the absence of violence, but the active presence of the capacity for a higher evolution of the human awareness, of respect, trust, and integrity; wherein we all may tap the infinite capabilities of humanity to transform consciousness and conditions which impel or compel violence at a personal, group, or national level toward developing a new understanding of, and a commitment to, compassion and love, in order to create a `shining city on a hill', the light of which is the light of nations.

Hot damn. Is this really in the congressional record... yeh it's in Thomas..... hey, hey what's that ? Is my foot asleep again. No. This is what hope feels like.
