Peace out, yo!

On another topic, I just attended one of the World Peace Forum events ("Are We Yesterday's Tomorrow Today?" - who chooses the titles of these forums, anyway?) at the Vancouver Public Library downtown. It was quite interesting and I wish I'd had a chance to stay longer and hear all of the speakers (I already blogged about what I did see here, if you're interested).
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only Vancouver blogger who could have attended these forums. With the latest news cycle giving no relief from the darker side of life, did anyone come away from one of these forums with that life-changing idea that can practically work to make this world a better place? It would be nice to hear some inspiring stories, experiences and ideas. Thanks.
Unfortunately, Jon, we will never have Peace
as long as making war is more profitable.
So we have to work on that, and figure out
how to remove the profit motive from it,
perhaps by attaching penalties to make it
too expensive to pull that trigger or to
push that big red button.
