I wish we had a national peace society. I mean, we have organizations for this and organizations for that. We have organizations for seemingly everything. But, you know, we don't have a group -- a society -- whose sole, stated purpose is peace -- who run around calling off the dogs, who say, "Johnny, be nice," and, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
Yeah, a society like that, one dedicated to peace.
Yeah, someone who will say nice things about Republicans in one sentence, and then in the very next sentence, say something nice about the Democrats.
Everybody believes in peace, but nobody starts a peace organization, nobody joins it, nobody asks for it.
Let them show up at the protests -- you know, the ones where the liberals are on one side and the conservatives on the other -- and wander into the middle, saying, "Hey, hey! Love you both. Now, break it up!"
Call them what you will: The Friends and Making Friends Society, The Kindness to Humankind Kind of People, Those Who Battle Against Battles, The Love Society, the Anti-Hatred Society -- whatever you will.
Peace Inc.
Well, perhaps it would be well if such an organization did exist. And, I'm going to suggest what the first movie could be they would show. It's an old Dr. Seuss show called Butter Battle Book. Give it a view. If nothing else, its very entertaining, and you can always enjoy good entertainment.
