What a world and time we live in. I have friends and colleagues and people I respect who are part of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7. They are on trial in Georgia and today closing arguments are being made and the jury will begin deliberations. These good folks stood up for all of humanity and took action against nuclear weapons that stand ready to destroy the world.
At the same time I have other friends who are in Vietnam building a house for a Vietnamese family through Habitat for Humanity. These include Paul Mann, Nicole d'Entremont and Dan Kelly. Catholic Workers from the past. All of these friends opposed the war in Vietnam through protest and in some cases prison for refusing to participate in that war. More good people. These are the people I choose to support. They stand for values that celebrate life vs death and destruction, God speed and thank you to all of them.
