[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 814342, member: 2189"] Very good point bbsam. Most people forget that Ghandi brought down the great British Lion in India not by force of arms but by force of non-compliance. Howard Zinn in his book on history documents a western Mass. town ended British control of their are in the days of the revolution not by battle on their own Lexington Green but rather by a citizen movement who marched on the British garrison not with arms but to inform them that henceforth, the mass of citizens would just refuse to comply and cooperate. The British departed the area without a shot fired. Look at Egypt and how Mubarak was taken down. Violence for the most part only came when loyalist (would that be conservative?:wink2:) entered the fray to protect the status quo. Same might be said in Libya to some degree and thus also across the other areas of the Middle East where unrest with western puppet govt's grows. A year of so ago I heard a former US Army Captain [URL="http://paulkchappell.com/author/"][COLOR=red]Paul Chappell[/COLOR] [/URL]who graduated West Point, served in Iraq talk about [URL="http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293163-1"][COLOR=red]"Will War Ever End"[/COLOR][/URL] and he discussed peace literally as a weapon and some of his talk center on Ghandi. Takes over an hour to watch but it is very thought provoking. HOLY CRAP! Now I know why I never watch that show, I can't afford it! :happy-very: If Beck is really worried about a post scarcity world, why not tell his viewers about things in the open source world like the folks at [URL="http://openfarmtech.org/wiki/Main_Page"][COLOR=red]OpenFarmTech [/COLOR][/URL]. If you can get past the natural kneejerk reaction to think road warrior, what these farmers, engineers, inventers and supporters are doing is absolutely amazing and it's all open source and free. Oh, that's why he not doing it, there's no money in it. Can't have freedom and liberty unless you make lots of money off of it! :happy-very: :peaceful: Back at ya! [/QUOTE]
