I agree with Lisa.
What I truly wish is for people to stop projecting their view of how the
world should be on other people, and for all of us to spend some time
inside to truly come to that place where our actions, words and thoughts
are in perfect balance with our spirits. This would bring peace to each
person and ultimatley to the world.

Subject: Re: Peace
Peace is different things to everyone. In some places, livestock and poultry
are raised for the purpose of eating. Those who choose to be vegetarians for
whatever reason are to be applauded, simply because they are doing what they
feel called to do. Others have different callings. Neither is "right" but
both are valid!
Have a peaceful holiday and every day.
