I dusted off a quote from Dwight D Eisenhower. You may remember he was President of the United States from 1953-1961. I hear of lot of people, a lot of younger people especially, saying that it doesn’t make a difference if they vote, and basically there’s nothing they can do to bring peace to our violence ridden world. Ike is right, here. I’d go one step further to say, if we wait for our government to bring peace, it simply will not happen. There is no historical precedent to suggest it will. Governments of all types are in the business of going to war. Here’s Ike:

“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
