Protesting McConnell-led Filibuster of War Amendments 9/21/07 After the last tree has been cut down,After the last river has been poisoned, After the last fish has been caught Only then will you find That money cannot be eaten. Cree Prophecy 'A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain.' ---Anatole France ***Please help Louisville Peace Action Community: How to donate to help with various initiatives. |
