Doing a long series of posts about it all soon. <br /><br />Sis Carolyn, hope all's been well with you and the family.<br /><br />I agree with you wholeheartedly. Not until my thoroughly colonized mind graduated from my Alabama HBCU at the end of the 70s and I moved to DC, did I get involved the divestment movement against South African apartheid (prior to that, there was no activism of any particular note going on there!).<br /><br /><b>"As long as there are warmongers, there will be those active in the resistance. I'm certain of that! "</b><br /><br />Agreed, but given this fool's apparent WW3 death wish, we're going to need <i>WORLD</i> participation to stop this imperial land grab!<br /><br />'Mad, how's your health, Man? Hope you've been taking care of yourself!<br /><br />I agree it is the "deaf elite who produce war -- 'specially since more often than not, none of them or their spawn will likely be coming back bruised or broken mentally, or forever physically destroyed or dead. <i>However,</i> given some conversations I've had in the last 8 or so months, the minds of <i>some of the old</i> remain just as thoroughly colonized as mine was some 35 years ago! I guess 3 hots and a cot, 30 days leave and a steady paycheck for a minimum of 20 years will do that to some folk.<br /><br />So good to hear from you both again! Stay tuned!DebChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018798227792356966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-8564581102959682152014-09-13T09:19:45.730-05:002014-09-13T09:19:45.730-05:00It's not the old that's the problem. My st...It's not the old that's the problem. My stance on war has not changed since my generation similarly denounced war. Gaye, Edwin Starr, Simone. No. War is produced by the elite. And unfortunately they're deaf.nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196543910280589478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-45155195162648330602014-09-12T23:23:50.513-05:002014-09-12T23:23:50.513-05:00Greetings Sis Deb, I'm glad you are back!

Many times the students think more critically about world events and are part of the vanguard against the U.S. or other countries' misguided interventions abroad or at home. During my student years--we were against the war in Vietnam and were for human rights in these United States and wherever people were oppressed.<br /><br />As long as there are warmongers, there will be those active in the resistance. I'm certain of that! <br /><br /><br /> Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.com
