"Few people chose war (WWII).  They chose SELFISHNESS
and the result was war."  David Dellinger

The above struck me when I was reading Isaiah this morning - the part about
turning "swords into plowshares."  THIS IS WRONG - INCORRECT -
SUBOPTIMAL AS A FOCUS.  Oh sure, if your loved one is burning up
from fever, get their temperature down - turn swords into.... BUT YOU BETTER TREAT THE
ROOT CAUSE, OR THEY'LL DIE. 

Lovelessness is the root cause.  YOUR DEVOTION TO THE NEEDY IN OUR GLOBAL FAMILY -
THE ONLY CURE.

SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES - WILL ONLY COME ABOUT THIS WAY.

And so it continues, unchanged, today.

I regularly, daily get asked, "Uh, I see the crosses on your head, are you
a Christian?"  Now mind you, the folks that stop by to talk to me are self-selected,
the 1 out of 1000 that have any Life left in them.  I reply, "I Love you, and
Jesus, far too much to be a Christian.  My "Christian" brothers and sisters
like to talk, pray, preach and sing about being Christian. I WANT TO DO IT!"

Not one out of 40 people I say this to doesn't immediately "get" what I'm 
saying, and appreciate it, with some measure of thanks; gratitude, agreement.

"I'm not supposed to say, but thanks for what you are yelling," the Cap. Hill Policewoman whispered to me.

"I'm not supposed to say, but thanks for what you are yelling," 
the Cap. Hill Policewoman whispered to me.

Last Saturday I went to Capitol Hill where DNC / BarackObama.com 
is, intending to phone bank for Health Care Reform Passage.  But
then I encountered the GOP angry mob. I was horrified.  It was
savage, disgusting.  And there was nothing but the rabble - no
counter protesters.  I proceeded to DNC to suggest some of us
go the the Hill, but my suggestion was greeted with 'Get out of
here or we'll call the cops.'

I returned to the mob by myself.  "Kill the bill, Kill the bill...." They
shouted at each congress person that passed. God / Universal Love
inspired me - "Kill the UnInsured, Kill the Uninsured," I'd scream 
at the same congressmen.   Each time it would quite the crowd
noticeably.  They couldn't figure out whether I was with them
or against them.   They overall figured I was with them, I could
tell by their sheepish grins.  This went on for several hours,
till my voice quit.

"I'm not supposed to say, but thanks for what you are yelling," 
the Cap. Hill Policewoman whispered in my ear as she walked
past.  She "got it."

If there is ever a Peace Movement that pays a price, millions
like her will join.

There are few if any police in the park here anymore that don't have
at least a grudging respect and affection for Connie and I. And it ain't
cuz of how we dress, how we look, what we talk about, or how the
vigil looks...; rather in most cases it is DESPITE all that.  They are
folks that put it on the line - and so are we.
