It’s the nature of peace that you don’t _get_ to have it if the other guy doesn’t want you to. Violence and coercion are unilateral acts. ---

Hasn’t that been true for like forever. We can’t change mans need to war with the “other”. All we can hope for is a bit of peace and safety in our own life. Maybe you can help a friend or family member. To be sane I have to believe there’s a way to live with this. I refuse to bow down and fall to pieces. That’s what “they” want. And yes Lennon was killed by a crazy person. I don’t think Chapman had a political statement. I think he wanted to be famous. And he was nuts. That doesn’t negate Lennon’s thinking and writing about a better way. If we had started then think where we would be. ---
