If you look at the average number of people killed per conflict per year, it goes from 37-thousand in 1950 to just 600 in 2002.

Diversity...is not casual liberal tolerance of anything not yourself. It is not polite accommodation. Instead, diversity is, in action, the sometimes painful awareness that other people, other races, other voices, other habits of mind have as much integrity of being, as much claim on the world as you do... And I urge you, amid all the differences present to the eye and mind, to reach out to create the bond that...will protect us all. We are all meant to be here together.

I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody, 350 kids, saying a prayer.
