Picket Bush? Interesting idea Spooky, but the food in jail is rarely up to my standards, so I'll pass.
It isn't that the Government people can't read "Love is the way". The problem is that they don't understand it.
When a group of people share a workload, the task is done faster, more easily, and more efficiently. When elected to the Chair of the American Philosophical Society, Gailbraith called this the "cooperator's surplus". Henry Ford called it the benefit of large scale mass production, but it's the same underlying concept.
The alternative can be seen in the millennia of friction between Jews and Christians, Christians, Jews and Muslims, and now Muslims versus Muslims. Somehow I doubt that this is exactly what the founders of these faiths intended. (There are some social scientists that predict that Islam will self destruct due to internal hostility, but I personally doubt it.)
In the 1960-1970 era there were events called "love ins", that unforutnately twended to focus on physical manifestations, as opposed to the spiritual side of loving. But I wonder what kind of result we could create if we collectively "loved", with intensity, all those who seem to be so lost in lovelessness, and so mired in materialism. Prayer has been proven to be effricacious, even when it was blindly directed. I wonder about highly intensive and well-directed love.
And for Bruce, all the rest of you, some intense, but non-specific love and appreciation.
