How surprising is
it, in today's world, that a student who is bullied and attacked verbally and
physically in school, would believe that taking revenge by grabbing a gun and
shooting his perceived enemies is the way to resolve a conflict ?

Run for public
office - be the voice that insists on honesty, on funding alternative
energy sources, on creating a Department of Peace, on providing health care
to all, ... .

Resist media
messages. The latest attempts to persuade parents to use powerful chemicals on kitchen
counters and anywhere you might touch (if you're a good
parent!)- so you and your children won't come into contact with everyday germs - is
allowing the growth of very resistant germs that actually are
dangerous, much like the overuse of antibiotics.

Resist media
messages. Buy what you need, not what the advertisements tell you
to want; don't purchase overly packaged goods; reduce plastics; buy
fuel-efficient vehicles; buy organic when possible; support your local
businesses; take steps to reduce your electrical and fossil-fuel
consumption.
