Ned Lamont just won the vote for democratic Senator ... on a platform for peaceful solutions ... that beneft more people. But can Lamont help a nation locked in war to change its mind for peace? What do you think?
In a brain based plan for peace non-violent solutions are seen as doable ... and together they act as a plan to resolve conflicts without guns or superiority. Peace often starts in water cooler conversations … and it draws on methods that rely on the way human brains wire and rewire for peace. Go after a plan ... based on peaceful possibilities and the brain is designed to take us past perceptual blocks that lead to war. 
Have you noticed that questions tend to engage – while water-tight answers told by one side … tend to shut down the other side?
Start with the words “What if…” and takes the volatility out a problem.
Imagine yourself ... or Lamont for that matter... asking... what if?
1. ...we were to find a global solution to gas prices that we could all live with?
2. ...we devote equal pages in history texts to peace plans as we do to war tactics?
3. ...we create video games with challenging but peaceful themes you’d buy?
4. ...we channel as much government money into peace plans as to fighting?
5. ...we learn one lesson from each person we meet and build together from there?
