I Was Trying To Disturb The War.

There's A Consensus Out That It's Ok To Kill When Your Government Decides Who To Kill. If You Kill Inside The Country You Get In Trouble. If You Kill Outside The Country, Right Time, Right Season, Latest Enemy, You Get A Medal.

I Would Say That I'm A Nonviolent Soldier. In Place Of Weapons Of Violence, You Have To Use Your Mind, Your Heart, Your Sense Of Humor, Every Faculty Available To You...because No One Has The Right To Take The Life Of Another Human Being.

Sometimes I Think That It Is Enough To Say That If We Don't Sit Down And Shut Up Once In A While We'll Lose Our Minds Even Earlier Than We Had Expected. Noise Is An Imposition On Sanity, And We Live In Very Noisy Times.

The Point Of Nonviolence Is To Build A Floor, A Strong New Floor, Beneath Which We Can No Longer Sink. A Platform Which Stands A Few Feet Above Napalm, Torture, Exploitation, Poison Gas, A And H Bombs, The Works. Give Man A Decent Place To Stand.

I Think The Question That Nobody Wanted To Deal With Is The Question They're Posing: Did My Kid Die In Vain? Because The Answer Is Too Awful.
