STOP the killing
“In the middle of the road/You see the darnedest things.
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city,
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits.
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and
Man, I don’t mean a Hampstead nursery.
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody Third World,
The babies just come with the scenery."
("Middle of the Road,” The Pretenders)
Neil Young sez: “There’s one more kid/That will never go to school/Never get to fall in love/Never get to be cool.”
Voltaire sez: “No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”
Nigerian Proverb: “Not to know is bad. Not to wish to know is worse.”
Bubba the Democrat sez: “Let me say this as clearly as I can: No matter how sharp a grievance or how deep a hurt, there is no justification for killing innocents.”
Dubya the Republican sez: “Any time innocent life is lost, we’re sad. Our country values life, all life.”
Ward Churchill sez: "Stop killing our kids, if you want your own to be safe."
