Hello researchers out on the net….

Dirty Dog is wondering about what it would cost to end homelessness. 

For instance, how many homes could we build, for what we spend on the weapons we deploy in the world?

Anyone have any numbers?

  Just wondering.

EEK Hurry.

It  is time to rid ourselves of the appetite of war.

“War is Old-Fashioned”

“Everything is interdependent. Everything is interconnected.

Therefore the destruction of your so-called enemy is acutually the destruction of yourself. The concept of war - ‘destroy your enemy’- is old-fashioned. It is out of date.”

   -the Dalai Lama, ‘The Dalai Lama Speaks Out’, Ode Magazine, Sept 2007

‘There’s too much emotion, too much negative emotion: frustration, hatred, anger.

Let us forget these difficult things, these emotions, and make personal friends.

then we can start to talk about these serious matters.’

   -The Dalai Lama, ‘War is Old-Fashioned’, Ode Magazine, Sept 2007

A friend of mine, on previewing Too Many Eyes, said, ‘How can we always be kind?’ and she is right, we are not always kind. But when we remember and when we can be, it relaxes the mind, eases the pain of self and other.

 good luck to us all,
