It's Constitution Day 2016

by Robert Wilkinson

Today is the anniversary of the day the U.S. "formed a more perfect union" and adopted its Constitution, the ultimate law of the land. Astrologically, this makes today, not July 4, the true birthday of the United States. It's still a pretty good governing document, especially with the first 10 Amendments we call “The Bill of Rights.” Now if we can just hold on to what liberties we have left despite the worst efforts of the totalitarians in our society and government to take them away in the name of "safety"....

It's the Anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act

by Robert Wilkinson

It's the 22nd anniversary of the Violence Against Women act signed into law by Bill Clinton. I found an excellent article on the good that's been done in decreasing violence and increased education since then, and what's left to do to finish the job!

I've long held that when we stop all forms of domestic violence, we'll be well on the way to ending war. For your consideration, A powerful tool against domestic violence by Joe Torre and Esta Soler.

I also found a 10 minute clip on FB of John Lennon making the case for peace. This is John Lennon at his best, so figured it bears revisiting. What he said in 1968-69 is still true. The system is on a non-stop campaign to sell us war, and we need to sell peace. Only psychopaths choose war over peace.

Our task is non-cooperation with violent thoughts, feelings and actions! We must "sell peace" with the same conviction as those who sell war. This is 10 great minutes! (It's basically the 6 minute clip with "War Is Over" at the back end.) No Fear!
