Sharing my current thoughts on fighting terrorism...
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The best way to knock the chip off your neighbors' shoulder is to pat him on the back. -- Unknown
When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters--one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.
-- John F. Kennedy
Wouldn't it be ironic to win the war yet lose the peace? We must not only win the fight against terrorism and abject poverty - we need to also win the peace...

How about using design Science to blend the social Sciences with the physical Sciences? Think of it as an extension of the warrior class - inspired in part by the theories of consilience set forth by world-class eminent Scientist at Harvard, Edward O. Wilson. http://www.2think.org/hii/wilson.shtml
Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence? --Sai Baba

We are introducing the "New Americans" to the rest of the world through multimedia and other incredibly clever innovations. (Hip American English as a second language - one) We are the Compassion Council of the World Peace Force. A Spiritual Order of Actors devoted to our craft.
Does it need to be done? In my opinion, yes, and anyway it doesn't hurt to have a good plan. A great design. Slowly and very surely there are people who are working on designing a better future - a better health care delivery system - better entertainment - harm reduction - phasing down and out negativity in choosing a positive mind-frame. I believe we can utilize multimedia and technology along with the knowledge of all the great minds of the world and create a modern-day version of the House of Wisdom, whereby we translate all the best of everything in the world into various entertaining forms of art and music and in a spirit of grace unite the world to the importance of sustainable global development - to the realities and potentials that exist in the world, the solutions to problems, the creative ways we can enjoy each other and benefit each other - people of all cultures - all forms of life.
"Perhaps the most basic challenge humanity faces is to awaken our capacity for collective knowing and conscious action so that we can respond successfully to the immense social and ecological difficulties that now confront us." -- Duane Elgin

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. --Mahatma Ghandi

That which God said to the rose,
and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty,
He said to my heart,
and made it a hundred times more beautiful. --Mathnawi [III, 4129]
The one who practices loving-kindness sleeps and wakes in comfort and has no bad dreams; he is dear to both humans and creatures; no danger harms him. His mind can be quickly concentrated, his expression is happy and serene. He dies without any confusion of mind. Loving-kindness protects him. --Anguttara Nikaya
definitely let me know what you think about this if you ever have time to look at it!
Immortality
DESIDERADA
GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE & HASTE
& REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE IS IN SILENCE.
AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT SURRENDER,
BE ON GOOD TERMS WITH ALL PERSONS.
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH QUIETLY & CLEARLY;
& LISTEN TO OTHERS, EVEN THE DULL & IGNORANT.
THEY TOO HAVE THEIR STORY.
AVOID LOUD & AGGRESSIVE PERSONS,
THEY ARE A VEXATION TO THE SPIRIT.
IF YOU COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHERS,
YOU MAY BECOME VAIN & BITTER;
FOR ALWAYS THERE WILL BE
GREATER & LESSER PERSONS THAN YOURSELF.
ENJOY YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS AS WELL AS YOUR PLANS.
KEEP INTERESTED IN YOUR CAREER, HOWEVER HUMBLE,
IT IS A REAL POSSESSION IN THE CHANGING FORTUNES OF TIME.
EXERCISE CAUTION IN YOUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS
FOR THE WORLD IS FULL OF TRICKERY.
BUT LET THIS NOT BLIND YOU TO WHAT VIRTUE THERE IS.
MANY PERSONS STRIVE FOR HIGH IDEALS
& EVERYWHERE LIFE IS FULL OF HEROISM.
BE YOURSELF.
ESPECIALLY DO NOT FEIGN AFFECTION.
NEITHER BE CYNICAL ABOUT LOVE;
FOR IN THE FACE OF ALL ARIDITY & DISENCHANTMENT,
IT IS AS PERENNIAL AS THE GRASS
TAKE KINDLY THE COUNSEL OF THE YEARS,
GRACEFULLY SURRENDERING THE THINGS OF YOUTH.
NURTURE STRENGTH OF SPIRIT TO SHIELD YOU IN SUDDEN MISFORTUNE.
BUT DO NOT DISTRESS YOURSELF WITH IMAGININGS.
MANY FEARS ARE BORN OF FATIGUE & LONELINESS.
BEYOND A WHOLESOME DISCIPLINE
BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF.
YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE,
NO LESS THAN THE TREES & THE STARS:
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE.
AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS CLEAR TO YOU,
THE UNIVERSE IS UNFOLDING AS IT SHOULD.
THEREFORE, BE AT PEACE WITH GOD
WHATEVER YOU PERCEIVE HIM TO BE.
AND WHATEVER YOUR LABOURS & ASPIRATIONS,
IN THE NOISY CONFUSION OF LIFE,
KEEP PEACE WITH YOUR SOUL.
WITH ALL ITS SHAM, DRUDGERY & BROKEN DREAMS
IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
BE CAREFUL. STRIVE TO BE HAPPY.
