A dear friend reminded me that an activist shehe knows first lost eyesight and later mind due to Hunger Strikes. Now I don't expect that will happen to me, although I realize it might.
But it got me thinking. If when my family is being raped, pillaged and murdered by folks with the most cruel and deadly weapons ever conceived; by the bullies we all grew up with in school turned loose with $3 billion of your tax dollars to do the job, YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO STOP IT! DON'T YOU?
And the US Forces, Irsnians and Iraqis ARE my family.
Hmmm. I'm surprised it has taken me so long. This riddle has been trying to fully solve itself within me for years - "How do you live in the face of Genocide?" "How do you live in the face of your country being the world's Terrorist?"
IF I'M NOT RISKING LIFE AND LIMB I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM.
