25. I don't know about interest.

There is certainly a critical need for anti-war discussions across this nation.

Our nation that glorifies the military, glorifies violence, glorifies authoritarianism, equates the idea of heroism and courage with battle, and, while attacking local schools for not stopping bullies, aspires to be the biggest global bully on the planet...there can't be enough time and energy, enough voices, for ending war as a viable solution to human conflict.

Apparently, there wasn't enough interest, in the last several years. Perhaps that could change.
