When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?
I am a born activist
What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?
War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom
What must we overcome to achieve peace?
Greed
More
Naming just one obstacle to peace is like holding one drop of rain responsible for a flood. I chose greed because as an American, I see greed in myself, my countrymen and most certainly my elected officials and government. We use a huge portion of the world's oil, we throw away food and pay subsidies to farmers to leave fields fallow when there are people starving all over the world (even in our own country!)
Can we change the world?
Definitely
More about me
I am a 50-something mother of six. My youngest daughter is in high school, and is a talented artist. My husband is very much a political activist, and often I am the grease for the wheels of my family. Occasionally I do get out and participate in protests, but more often write letters, make calls, etc. I hope to get out more soon, and will look to help homeless teens and volunteering in hospice.
Promise to respect others and refrain from spamming?
Yes
