"I like to believe that ordinary people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people will want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.” ~ Albert Einstein
Now my friends, I am opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself but because I am not satisfied to make myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. We were taught under the old ethic that man's business on this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast. Take care of yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man. Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ''Am I my brother's keeper?'' That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.
Yes, I am my brother's keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow beings starving to death.
There will be another Presidential Election in 2008.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Multitasking; I would initiate programs to feed the hungry, house the homeless, provide education, and health care for everyone. I would join with other Mayors across the country who are fighting for better Global warming programs, and to clean the environment. We have the resources, these goals can be met. I would fight for, and insist upon fair elections in my city, gun control, and to reduce crime, not build more jails.
What/who changed my life and why
1968, MLK Jr., RFK, and my father were killed that year.
