the world abounds with laws
and teems with crimes.
Waco, Ruby Ridge, Wenatchee, the Patriot Act : is our own government committing injustice in the name of protecting the citizens? Gandhi and others have had praise for the patient, noble suffering of a poor but honest people. Gandhiji said we each must BE the change we wish to see in the world. But there is also a time to identify those who wrong us, to let our light shine, and, if need be, (as Malcolm X instructed) to resolutely petition for redress of grievances.
This page lists a handful of injustices right here in the USA (a few Canadian) in which by all apprearances, our own government has grossly overstepped its bounds. (Has it forgotten that it has bounds?)
No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main. [John Donne]

and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. |
