Can peace and capitalism reign together, or must one be subverted for the other to survive? I often wonder about this because it seems that to keep up with feeding the capitalist beast, it has to keep searching around the globe for cheaper labor and dwindling natural resources that leave wars, bloodshed, racism, xenophobia and environmental degradation in its wake, all these characteristics are, of course, not conducive to peace. Yet, many of our government officials continue to reconcile the ideology of peace with Democracy and a capitalistic frame work? Could there be a new way?

What do you guys and gals think?
