Peace

Total pacifism might be a good principle if
everyone were to follow it. But not everyone does, so it isn't.

Peace is a natural effect of trade.

Any rich man does more for world peace than all
the jerks pasting VISUALIZE WORLD PEACE bumper stickers on their cars. The
worst leech of a merger and acquisitions lawyer making $500,000 year will,
even if he cheats on his taxes, put $100,000 into the public coffers. That's
$100,000 of education, charity, or U.S. Marines. And the Marine Corps does
more for world peace than all the Ben & Jerry's ice cream ever made.
