Peace in pieces

"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I know not what weapons the Third World War will be fought with, but the Fourth will be fought with sticks and stones." - a loose paraphrase from Albert Einstein

I don't know if those two great men ever met each other. Imagine if they had. What a meeting of minds it would have been. But Albert Einstein died before Dr. King came into prominence as a man of peace. So the stilled voice of the genius of his generation in science echoed in a towering voice of the man who wrote the Letter from a Birmingham jail, or spoke from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, who walked roads and lived and talked and sang with his congregations about peace and justice and civil rights, human rights.

For where there is injustice for one, justice for all under threat.

You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives the assimilated conformists.
