Latest reader comment:

Well I thought I would list some ideas on the fiscal advantages of peace...


The first thing that comes to my mind is the question of how many people try to cheat the system?  How many resources are spent trying to keep peopl honest or "in line?  Once 'Honesty' is practiced, taught, and valued who would cheat the system?  No one would!  Spending on keeping people "in line" or safe from those who disrespect life would not be needed (as least not to the same degree).

Another is that theft would go down or stop, thus making what we own safer.
