For arrest early August I either do 8 hours community service or jail. I've decided that I am more valuable to humanity on the Hill than in jail right now. Ellen picked me up at 5pm today and I expect to be back on the Hill by 8am Thursday morning.
As Dr. King said so many years ago (1967), "we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." We've shifted murderously in the wrong direction. Focusing on US Forces, Iranians and Iraqis I'll try to help lead us to sanity / humanity / salvation.
