The way to lasting peace needs voluntary equality to prevent divisive force of majority rules. Native Americans and Quakers have been using the equality of consensus for centuries by patiently listening to neighbors. Since Jesus believed king and slave are equal, why not ask our churches to use equal consensus/spiritual unity for decisions, so we would learn new ways of sharing power. Then we can credibly ask our government to replace winner-take-all (exclude everyone else but billionaires) with equally shared power, or at least supermajorities, multiple parties, proportional executive power sharing (to votes earned), as Swiss already proved works well.

Thanks George. It's a wonder when we image and apply ideas to meaningful change.
