Peace, liberty and equality cannot be 'granted' by politicians, no matter how inherently good (like Mike) they are.

They would be stopped via the system that is built to sustain itself -- in order to change something, one should seek unconventional ideas and use new ways, not the ways of the system one is trying to change.

Viva libertad.

This Old dill have never once said in his clips that he intents to create peace.

But his clips do appear as tho he wants peace.

In other words he's a con artist!

Don't be sucked in!

[petergoesonair]

If you mean Gravel...try watching "Moving Toward Peace" on Gravel official You Tube channel, gravel2008

If you mean Gravel...Explore his role in helping stop the Vietnam War, his role in the release of the Pentagon Papers, his filibuster and... and... wanting to get the US out of Iraq in 120 days...making friends with Iran...his wanting to cut US defence spending, massively...the people he has as advisers on his campaign

If you already know all these things...our perceptions are very different.

[petergoesonair]

and above all the NI4D as a mechanism to "tame" the military-industrial complex.

[RockManAU]

In all honesty I made that call based totally on 2 of his clips (This one and "power to the people vs give peace a chance", not in that order, and I have to admit that if what U say about him/his politics is true, then I humbly apologize. After viewing "Moving Toward Peace" as U suggested I most liked the works 'HUMAN FAMILY' in the question that was posed. Thats what we ALL HUMAN LIFE are here!

I beg people to look beyond profiteering out of war and consider that we are all ONE race... HUMANS!

[RockManAU]

That was meant to be to you petergoesonair

[petergoesonair]

Thanks.I wouldn't want you to take my word for it or his. Let his life speak for itself.If you would be so kind and if you can find the time and so on, try looking at the,"How the Pentagon Papers Came to be Published by the Beacon Press: A Remarkable Story Told by Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, Dem Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel and Unitarian Leader Robert West".It's available on the Democracy Now! website in audio,video or transcript options.I'm going to give a quote from the website below.

[petergoesonair]

DANIEL ELLSBERG says,"So here was a senator who was not afraid to look foolish, basically, and that's the fear that keeps people in line all there lives. Don't get out of line. It's the kind of thing you learn at your mother's knee to get along, go along—your father's knee. And don't stick out, don't make yourself look, you know—don't raise your head, sort of this thing, and look ridiculous. (cont)

[petergoesonair]

But he wasn't afraid to do that on a transcendent issue like the draft in the middle of this war. So I thought, "OK, maybe this is the guy."

[akula06]

you know, Eisenhower almost called it the "military-congressional complex"

[rx2008]

is that for real?

[akula06]

yep. except i was wrong. he called it the "military-industrial-congressi­onal complex." it made it almost to the final draft of his speech.

[psofadotcom]

You should watch the movie "Why We Fight". It talks about what akula06 mentioned.

The military weapon contracts spread the components of a given weapon over many states so that if any group tries to stop production of the weapon it eliminates jobs from that state, which then gets even the most peaceful congress critter involved in sustaining production of that weapon.

I also look forward to your next endeavor. Your work is excellent.
