More and more, rational, normal every day people are sharing their legitimate worry about how the effects from wars overseas, torture, rendition, and covert operations are coming home and affecting freedoms. It is certainly enough to know that the types of behaviors we most disdain are taking place under the direction and supervision of our government and its military spy networks.
How we treat the least fortunate among us is how we should be judged as a society. Not only the loss of compassion and generosity of resource and spirit towards elders, children, and physically and emotionally challenged; not only the humane discharge of prisoners, or long term care of veterans; how we extend this ethos abroad is critical to waging peace and building tolerance among peoples.
How much does it say about each of us when we will not care for children the world's abandoned?
What does it mean when leaders are profiting off of incarcerating children and the oppressed?
Will privatization of the human condition continue unchecked?
Who can envision the eradication of all forms of violence? Who can see the end days of war?
