"The
industrial way of life leads to the industrial way of death. From
Shiloh to Dachau, from Antietam to Stalingrad, from Hiroshima to
Vietnam and Afghanistan, the great specialty of industry and technology
has been the mass production of human corpses." -Edward Abbey  ="The 
death of a single human being is too heavy a price for the vindication of any 
principle, however sacred." -Daniel Berrigan  ="War
paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood. It
degrades and stupefies with the sense that you are not responsible,
that 'tis not yours to think and reason why, but to do and die,' like
the hundred thousand others doomed like yourself. War means blind
obedience, unthinking stupidity, brutish callousness, wanton
destruction, and irresponsible murder." : Alexander Berkman ="It
seems that 'we have never gone to war for conquest, for exploitation,
nor for territory'; we have the word of a president [McKinley] for
that. Observe, now, how Providence overrules the intentions of the
truly good for their advantage. We went to war with Mexico for peace,
humanity and honor, yet emerged from the contest with an extension of
territory beyond the dreams of political avarice. We went to war with
Spain for relief of an oppressed people [the Cubans], and at the close
found ourselves in possession of vast and rich insular dependencies
[primarily the Philippines] and with a pretty tight grasp upon the
country for relief of whose oppressed people we took up arms. We could
hardly have profited more had 'territorial aggrandizement' been the
spirit of our purpose and heart of our hope. The slightest acquaintance
with history shows that powerful republics are the most warlike and
unscrupulous of nations." : Ambrose Bierce, Warlike America  
="COWARDICE,
n. A charge often levelled by all-American types against those who
stand up for their beliefs by refusing to fight in wars they find
unconscionable, and who willingly go to prison or into exile in order
to avoid violating their own consciences. These 'cowards' are to be
contrasted with red-blooded, 'patriotic' youths who literally bend
over, grab their ankles, submit to the government, fight in wars they
do not understand (or disapprove of), and blindly obey orders to maim
and to kill simply because they are ordered to do so-all to the howling
approval of the all-American mob. This type of behavior is commonly
termed 'courageous.'" : Chaz Bufe Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
