These words of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dear Friends,
These words of Martin Luther King, Jr. are phenomenal.
"There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong. I don't think we have to look too far to see that. I'm sure that most of you would agree with me in making that assertion. We haven't learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real danger confronting civilization today is the atomic bomb which lies in the hearts and souls of all people, capable of exploding into the vilest of hate and into the most damaging selfishness - that's the atomic bomb that we've got to fear today."
If you feel that Dr. King's words are true -- that the most dangerous bomb is the hatred inside our hearts -- I hope you'll look into the Department of Peace legislation and see how it can contribute to a new kind of thinking about violence in the world. We need the same holistic revolution in politics that we've already attained in medicine: we must deal with not only symptoms of a disease, but with its root causes as well.
We can do this. Join the cause...
Marianne
