“ Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomized at a time when the Japanese were suing desperately for peace. ”
Our experience of the governments of the world, our knowledge of the weapons at their disposal, and our awareness of our own limitations justify pessimism. But some mysterious factor deep in the human psyche has produced a countervailing conviction that educating, organizing, uniting, and acting will make a difference.
~ David T. Dellinger
Arms control is by definition a rejection of disarmament.
Nonviolence simply cannot defend property rights over human rights.
There is a heady sense of manhood that comes from advancing from apathy to commitment, from timidity to courage, from passivity to aggressiveness. There is an intoxication that comes from standing up to the police at last.
