We all can only do what we are doing and hope that THE-MEDIA-RIGHT-STORM soon see the light that deeds of Abraham are what we need right now. Not ancient words of which many have no place in this 21st century.
I want Tom Paine's words here fulfilled:"When shall it be said in any country of the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance or distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive...when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and government"
@forty911 "Soon after I had published the pamphlet 'Common Sense' [on Feb. 14, 1776] in America, I saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in the system of religion... The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."-Thomas Paine
@forty911 "We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all [people] are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights...that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among [people] deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the RIGHT of the people to ALTER or to ABOLISH it." -July 4, 1776, The Declaration of Independence.
I wanted to add, Kudos to you Eileen and to Father Dave for this wonderful interview. I hope Father Dave won't mind me pointing that the Zionist movement for a Jewish home in Palestine had nothing to do with World War II. The movement started in the 19th Century. Besides the Jews had a state before WWII!
yOU 2 WOULD NMAKE A GREAT TEAM FOR PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL CHANGE. I hope that this is just the start of collaboration for just that, and that you can get other leaders, in other countries to join with you. 8 )
Howard Zinn wrote about situations that appear to be the most hopeless 'all of a sudden change' but it takes years of committed activists to bring us to that tipping point.
