One of his’ primary arguments about man’s survival in this . decade, and the key to our continuing success, isthat we must stop using the muscle oriented weaponary system of war that has retarded all advancement in knowledge our history. Peace on earth and good will towards men is a proper vision because in the real work! we can no longer pirate wealth.
