"A season for Nonviolence" a national as well as local effort in its sixth year was killed in the Colorado House "because Republians viewed it as critical of President Bush's war effort." "Rep Fran Coleman, sponsor of the resolution, said she agreed to let it die Tuesday because she wasn't prepared to fight the GOP majority on the issue." "One of the comments that was made to me was, if they heard one more think about Martin Luther King they'd gag." Coleman said. "The resolution urged people to " engage in the daily practice of peace" for the nine week season. That could include honoring yourself, others and the environment, to expressing gratitude, practicing forgiveness and demonstrating compassions." The resolution is a statement of opinion that doesn't have the force of law." It was inspired by the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr.

Non-violence is so out of style. There probably wasn't much of it in the Old West, the context for much of the thinking among the yokels now running the country. What's that saying about "All hat, no cattle"?
So many do not have the courage to be peaceful that the notion of practicing peace in their daily life is most fearsome. It is notable that both MLK and Gandhi had to be assassinated because their ideas frightened so many.
My god is not the German sales manager who was a child during Gandhi's time.
MLK is not a fool to uphold the virtues of Nonviolence.
Intellectual interpretation to justify one's WMD is not my way of barbarism.
My barbaric view is better.
I will die like MLK, MAHATHMA
MOTER THERESA
Karl Marx will die with me.
Rama, you don't have any idea what you do to my heart when you dredge up these old threads on which friends who have since died had posted before they left us.
Truth dies not.
Author's of truth die.
May be we have to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that
when we finally meet the right person,
we will know hot to be grateful for the gift.
Rama
Some one had this view like that of mine.
" There are things you'd love to hear
that you would never hear from the person
whom you would like to hear from,
but don't be so deaf as not to hear it
from the one who says it from his heart."
Gandhi will never die.
Nor karl Marx.
Consume
be a crucifier.
Death is communism.
