--Martin Luther King, Jr.

A TESTAMENT OF HOPE

honoring doctor king...

"Did you ever stop to think that you can't leave for your job in the morning without being dependent on most of the world? You get up in the morning and go to the bathroom and reach over for the sponge, and that's handed to you by a Pacific islander. You reach for a bar of soap, and that's given to you at the hands of a Frenchman. And then you go into the kitchen to drink your coffee for the morning, and that's poured into your cup by a South American. And maybe you want tea: that's poured into your cup by a Chinese. Or maybe you're desirous of having cocoa for breakfast, and that's poured into your cup by a West African. And then you reach over for your toast, and that's given to you at the hands of an English-speaking farmer, not to mention the baker. And before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on more than half of the world. This is the way our universe is structured, this is its interrelated quality. We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognize this basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality."

...Martin Luther King, Jr.  1967

a wise man said...

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

                                                                                                 --Martin Luther King, Jr.

let there be PEACE...

please join Mendocino Parents for Peace on this 4th of July

Books not Bombs...Jobs not War

Since 2001, the US has spent more than  one trillion dollars on war. $128 billion has come from California, $250 million from Mendocino County. (National Priorities Project)



Still we are told that the country is broke and that we need further cuts – in education, in health and welfare, in environmental projects.  We cannot accept this.

march with us...

for peace, for jobs, for schools, for health

for our childrens' future!

2010

many wishes for a WARM and COLORFUL new year...may it bring PEACE to all
