Jesus is the Prince of Peace. I worked for a World War II Veteran who fought in Japan, he went to war with his Doberman, when he was drafted he was in school to become a Veterinarian and he had to drop out of school to join the Marine Corps after Pearl Harbor. The Marine Corps put him in charge of their Dog Kennels, and he trained dogs for the Marine Corps, etc, and then he went to war in Japan with his Doberman named Duke. This Veteran was a huge proponent of peace, he hated war, and he supported the United Nations. He thought that the United Nations was our biggest hope for world peace, and he had a picture of the United Nations on the wall of our office at the Dog Kennel that he owned and which I managed for 6 years. He ran that Kennel like the Marine Corps kennels, and for me it was like being in the Marines for 6 years, I had hard core discipline and I was never late, I got to work 1 hour early and I left one hour after hours. I gave that old man the very best effort that I could, even though he did not share the wealth, as a child of the Great Depression he was tight with the money. Anyhow, this old man loved the United Nations, and he saw it as our best hope for world peace.
At the same time that the United Nations was created then so too was the Central Intelligence Agency, we needed the CIA so that we could be well informed of world activities and so that we could deal with problems when they are small and before they become big problems. Then when people have the facts, they can make better decisions.
And the same is true with Journalism and which is why we have our 1st Amendment guaranteeing the right to freedom of the Press and free speech, so that we can deal with issues when they are small, and we can make better decisions when we have all of the facts.
One recent example of excellent Journalism was the case with Geraldo Rivera and the Mental Hospitals, Geraldo shined a light on what was happening in the Mental Hospitals and then people could deal with the issue. We have made a lot of progress on Mental Health Care because of Geraldo Rivera, and a free press.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and according to many our best hope for World Peace is the United Nations.
Salute,
