5 MINUTES TO TALK TO THE WORLD FROM A 12 YEAR OLD
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win
The Real Story of GAZA
just your average guy that thinks.
The low road
What can they do to you? Whatever they want.
They can set you up,they can bust you,
they can break your fingers,
they can burn your brain with electricity,blur you with drugs till you can't walk,
can't remember,
they can take your child,
wall up your lover.
They can do anything you can't stop them from doing.
How can you stop them?
Alone, you can fight,
you can refuse,
you can take what revenge you can but they roll over you.
But two people fighting back to back can cut through a mob,
a snake-dancing file can break a cordon,
an army can meet an army.
Two people can keep each other sane,
can give support,
conviction,
love,
massage,
hope,
sex.
Three people are a delegation,
a committee,
a wedge.
With four you can play bridge and start an organization.
With six you can rent a whole house,
eat pie for dinner with no seconds,
and hold a fund raising party.
A dozen make a demonstration.
A hundred fill a hall.
A thousand have solidarity and your own newsletter;
ten thousand, power and your own paper;
a hundred thousand, your own media;
ten million, your own country.
It goes on one at a time,
it starts when you care to act,
it starts when you do it again and they said no,
it starts when you say We and know you who you mean, and each day you mean one more.
Marge Piercy
Without facts there is
no knowledge. Without knowledge there is no wisdom.
Facts prevent what
nothing can cure. Facts are Man's best defense mechanism.
Without them men
fumble, falter and fail. Without them nations decline and fall.
Wisdom wins
wars before they start. Knowledge aborts national hostilities.
Wisdom
obviates racial antipathies. Knowledge effaces religious animosities.
Emancipation from bigotry prefaces peace.
Intolerance takes all and gives
nothing. Peace rewards reciprocal respect and regard.
To all Men of Good
Will, "Pax Vobiscum!" - Benjamin H.Freedman
