Peace
 
What's the acceptable price for peace?

Please, interpret 'peace', 'acceptable', and 'price' as you like.

Is there a price for peace?

That depend entirely on how you interpret 'price' and 'peace'.

Two dollar - fifty.

fitty cent

Peace is being able to walk around without fear of being raped or murdered or caught in a bank robbery or a school shooting or being hit by a drunk driver or some punk-ass kid with a road vendetta who just broke up with his skank girlfriend or getting hit by drugwar crossfire or or or...

The price is the annihilation of the human race.

One nice, practical, definition for 'peace'...thanks.


But surely you mean, 'the annihilation of the human race' is the price for NOT having peace, yes?

classicman 09-25-2009 12:06 PM

it may well be the cost of having peace also

Shawnee123 09-25-2009 12:07 PM

There will never be peace as long as there are pesky humans running around, and the complete lack of peace would result in the annihilation of the human race.

Therefore, peace is not possible except in the absence of humans. Sure, there might be a mutual chihuahua-mauling or something, but I don't expect animals with their instincts to have any understanding or influence on (my concept of) "peace."

Ah, got you!
