Some good words:
"We figure that if the day is ever to dawn when we practice peace on earth, it will happen because we have given up war and exploitation. That will only be when men and women refuse to exploit and kill each other. And this is the wrong decade to wait for someone else to begin the change. To say no to death is to say yes to life. And to say yes to life is against the law... Brothers and Sisters: You and I must, with our lives, build a world where we are as sure as the perpetuation and flowering of life as we are the triumph of Spring."
Taken from David's Album, tribute to draft resister David Harris, put in prison for 3 years for sending a note to the gov't that said he "intended to live his own life, in a way which could affirm the lives of others, not destroy them, and that meant total non-cooperation with the military." In 1969. Still, this is the WRONG decade to wait for someone else to begin the change.
