In reply to the discussion: The draft, and foreign policy... how they are actually connected. [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)14. It does not, as a former medic for a red cross society I like that
I happen to have actually done something actually RISKY, to live that non violence. So I am going to ask you again, how the fuck are you going to get this implemented all the way from your local police department to the United States Congress and the Presidency of the United States?
Or you mean just empty platitudes on the internets where you can be ignored?
By the way, my local ACTUAL PEACE MAKERS, like the folks at Veterans for Peace and the Peace House , actually work on policy and non violence and try to get people ELECTED who share their policy goals. They are living it, and are good citizens in the process.
I am starting to think you are a cartoon. Most peace workers have actual thick policy agendas.

I don't pray, either. I'm an atheist. But if you are going to do it, then do it right.
