[Peace-discuss] AWARE's Third Fourth

[Alfred Kagan]

Actually, I think that "Another World is Possible" is really the best 
starting place for just about everything we do. We need a vision to 
show people that there really are alternatives. It is not a question 
of ideals, but rather a question of educating people to examine their 
assumptions about the way society is organized.
