To End War, Prepare For Peace

***Begin Quote***
On the other side of the economic, geopolitical, and military mess we find ourselves in right now (provided, of course, that we survive it), certain things that we have done routinely as a civilization—or that have been done to all of us—must be changed, radically and permanently.
The first is to establish widespread recognition that, in addition to being immoral because it happens to be theft, taxation is the fuel of war. If you remember nothing else from this essay, try to remember that.
Taxation is the fuel of war.
***End Quote***
And the author puts the question to us at the end of the article:
What are you prepared to do about it?
That’s the rubber meets the road question.
How will we oppose the gang with guns who aren’t afraid to use violence? Gandhi gave us the tool non-violent non-cooperation. When 70% wanted us out of the various “wars”, they elected the D’s. And, what did they get, more war.
So the gang puts the TSA at the airports, I try NOT to fly. Since they did it, I’ve only taken two flights — Iowa for fun and Denver for work. Period end of story. Non-violent non-cooperation.
Maybe there will be some more demonstrations.
