yes i do have a heart, i am peace and love...
No offense, but you're incredibly naive.
can you imagine a utopia?
Yes, and I do not delude myself into thinking it can, or will ever be achieved.
i know how to end 90% of crime, end poverty.
lets cut the pentagon and/or re-tool the military industrial complex for peace and end poverty and starvation in America...
isn't that a novel idea?
lol
anything is possible, all a choice...
i choose peace and abundance for all...
i choose justice, fairness, loving rehabilitation instead of for-profit prisons, i can go on and on...
you are an aspect of God...

That sounds great and all, but you seem to be completely sheltered and devoid from reality. The world doesn't work the way you "wish" it did. Your heart might very well be in the right place, but your head most certainly isn't.
If we are to achieve a galactic civilization status, it won't necessarily be through your scenario. Humanity will get there someday, but we will experience a fair share of our own growing pains. Unilaterally disarming law abiding people, and dictating what they can choose to protect themselves with; will not set us on this path. Self accountability and responsibility however will give us a good start. But so long as there is egotism, hate and animosity, envy, and jealousy, you will never rid our society from crime. We will have to experience those growth pains and deal with them in time.edit on 1-1-2013 by rock427 because: (no reason given)
