[Grovenet] Avoiding WAR (WAS: draft vs. volunteer)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

What are those options and now might they be implemented?

Yes, I am a strong believer in a world government. Countries like ours (and
most, actually) live with relative internal peace because all the citizens
accept control by the state in a great many things. At least it's been a
century and a half since we fought a war among ourselves and it's been much,
much longer for many other countries. 

It would seem that moving that model up to a global level would produce the
same results.

For many years, I have believed that a "World 
Government" would solve a lot of problems.
Very difficult to attain, I'm sure.
"National Sovereignty" certainly is a problem 
world wide!

Are there other options to our present situation? 
The Quakers and many others believe so.
As we say, "War is not the answer!"
