When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

War toys contribute to a child's sense that it's a) okay to fight, b) there are few if any alternatives to solving problems or differences and c) it's okay to kill those who differ from us
Check out tolerance.org's list of 101 ways to enhance tolerance in yourself, your household, and your school and community.
Then check out the war toys sold at J.C.Penney - action figures for 5-year-olds! Click through Toys > action figures > military and check out the cute little house that's been destroyed by shelling and taken over by a soldier.
Then mull over what we could do differently to create a more peaceful society. [It's not just them, it's also us.]
