OMG it's World Peace Day

[Belacqua]

We can all do something. Most people are lazy and simply don't want to do anything. That's too bad, but that shouldn't stop those of us who care, from making a difference.

Yep, I suspect you're right. 

I'm pretty lazy and even more selfish, so I haven't done much. 

Let's see... I've never owned a car, and I barely heat or cool the house, so my petroleum consumption is pretty low. (A lot of war is over petroleum supply.) I've never been in the military, so I've never participated in America's wars to maintain economic hegemony -- that is, all of the wars in our lifetimes. The only politician I've ever actively supported is Taro Yamamoto, who is by far the most peace-loving of Japanese politicians. (Any vote for a high-level US politician, whether Dem or Rep, is a vote for war.)

I used to do translation work for a peace-oriented think tank run by Hiroshima University. Though I don't suppose they've accomplished much.

So that's about it. 

Maybe the fact that I am usually at home cultivating my garden (quite literally) means I have done less harm than most.
