On Saturday March 19th, 2005; in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA people gathered to express their desire to take alternative courses of action, as a nation. As a political nation, they want their government to be able to denounce exploitive deeds and harmful practices.War and military force are all based on harmful actions. Unchecked greed may also cause massive casualties and unnecessary suffering. Our government should be reflective of its citizens, and so we must be involved and respectively resolve the issues between opponents. Peaceful resolution is sustainable; a forced resolution is indicative of trouble.
