( Part I ) : Justification For a Massacre





When the action is over
and we look back...
we understand both more and less.
This much is certain.

Before the Doolittle raid,
America knew nothing but defeat.
After it,
there was hope of victory.

Japan realized, for the first time, that
they could lose and began to pull back.
America realized that she would win
and surged forward.

It was a war that changed
America and the world.

Dorie Miller was the first black
American to be awarded the Navy Cross.
But he would not be the last.
He joined a brotherhood of heroes.
That's for all the Raiders.

World War II, for us,
began at Pearl Harbor...
and 1,177 men still lie entombed
in the battleship Arizona.
America suffered,
but America grew stronger.

It was not inevitable.
The times tried our souls...
and through the trial,
we overcame.

Why Are you Wearing That Stupid Man-Suit ?!




Do you think the world is coming to an end?
No ... That's stupid !!
* * * * * * *
She said every living creature on Earth dies alone.
How did that make you feel? Do you feel alone right now?
I don't know. I'd like to believe I'm not, but I just ... I've just never seen any proof, so I ...
I just don't debate it anymore, you know? It's like I could spend my whole life debating it
over and over again, weighing the pros and cons ... and in the end, I still wouldn't have any proof.
So I just ... I just don't debate it any more ... It's absurd.
The search for God is absurd?
It is if everyone dies alone.
Does that scare you?
I don't want to be alone.
* * * * * * *
The sky is going to open up .....
If the sky were to suddenly open up ...
There would be no law .. there would be no rule
There would only be you and your memories .. the choices you've made
and the people you've touched
If this world were to end there would only be you ...
... and him
... and no one else.
* * * * * * *
I'm afraid of what you might tell me.
Sometimes I'm afraid that
you'll tell me this is not a work of fiction.
I can only hope that the answers
will come to me in my sleep.
I hope that when the world comes to an end,
I can breathe a sigh of relief,
because there will be so much to look forward to.

A Concerto For Madame Justice




Concerning non-violence:
It is criminal to teach man
not to defend himself
when he is the constant victim
of brutal attacks

"Sex and Race"
because they are easy,
visible differences
have been the primary ways
of organizing human beings
into superior and inferior groups
and into the cheap labor
on which this system still depends

We are talking about a society
in which there will be no roles
other than those chosen
or those earned

We are really talking about
Humanism
