Michael Nagler, points the way in The Search For A Nonviolent Future: "The famed ethologist Konrad Lorenz -- not a wild-eyed idealist but a distinguished scientist -- decided after extensive scientific investigation that war is not programmed by nature. "Modern war has become an institution, and…being an institution, can be abolished." What I am saying here is the converse, and the missing practical component to what Lorenz, like Margaret Mead and so many others, has discovered: peace can be institutionalized. When it is, then people will be willing to send war on its well-deserved way to the cabinet of bad memories."
