“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”--Martin Luther King

In memory of the thousands who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the hundreds of thousands more who have died since in individual and State-sponsored terrorist attacks, manifest daily from Newtown to Karachi and from Baghdad to Kabul and from Boston to Mogadishu and from D.C. to Damascus and from London to Delhi and elsewhere, and which will not stop until human beings take the initiative to say no more and learn to live with one another in peace. While we cannot expect this to happen soon, we can as individuals resist the inevitability of madness wherever it raises its ugly head and demand equality among races and creeds, and everybody in between; while the world will never become a perfect Utopia, it sure as hell could be better than its demonstrable present.
