Banned Books makes a point of condemning the way censored books were burned in previous generations (they always select admirable books, like Huckleberry Finn or Brave New World, of course). Can we build an opposite idea, in which wonderful books that could iconically represent Beautiful Books? What would this look like?

Ask soldiers to be thoughtful
A Visionary Society Project
There is always a place for the intelligence and conscience of the individual — even for soldiers, who are required to obey the chain of command. How can we engage soldiers in transforming the conflict situation in which they are engaged?
Pledge for civilians
– Understand the causes of the conflict, and the suffering, grievances and needs of all sides.
– Recognize your own part in creating conflict (including what you do for work, entertainment and in your daily life). Repent for your own brutality.
– Put an end to war in yourself. Become capable of peace.
– Find a deeper resolution and transform the conflict situation itself.
– Look at evil with the eyes of a mother.
