coup - a movement or action
We have the ability to live in peace.
We have the ability to join together as democratic citizens to promote and sustain legitimate governments, fair markets, and healthy environments.
How do we do it? We get involved. We seek and share information. We stop watching our monopoly media screens. We set an example of peace on Earth in everything we do and everything we say.
We motivate each other and we get to work.

Being active and involved is necessary for peace on both a personal and global level.

"Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict..."

The alternatives don't even need to be creative, they just need to avoid being destructive as war always is.

One way people are ending the conflict between Muslim and Hindu in India is by organizing bridge tournaments that bring people together simply to have some fun.

...and bridge tournaments are MUCH less expensive and destructive than war.

...sporting events, pen pals, doctor exchanges, peace corp volunteers, online communities, scientific competitions and collaborations, etc.... all non-violent strategies

These things won't be funded or lead by politicians.
We need to be the ones we have been waiting for.

I agree that we have the ability to live in peace.
Never before have we had the ability to communicate with so many people from all over the world.
Millions of people who once brutalized each other now live in peace.
I have confidence in our ability to find the solutions we are looking for.

I agree that the ability to communicate with people from all over the world will change everything.
So many of our past wars have been based on not knowing anything about the people we are killing.

And giving us the chance to understand things without relying completely on the monopoly media.

If I had to rely completely on the monopoly media, I might think the "axe-men" had something to do with history and Fox is fair and balanced. Yikes!
Good thing the internet arrived just in time to give us a more democratic media where we can watch, participate, and create.

Leading through example is one of the best things we can do. Much better than "leading" by occupying other countries with our military.
