September 13 is the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Violence Against Women act signed into law by Bill Clinton. We all have to join in the effort to decrease violence and increase education, and try to end domestic violence in any and every way.
I've long held that when we stop all forms of domestic violence, we'll be well on the way to ending war. In previous years this link titled “Domestic Violence: 20 Years of landmark law” by Joe Torre and Esta Soler from September 13, 2014 was good, but for some reason CNN’s servers aren’t directing the link to the right article this year. Too bad, since it outlines a powerful tool against domestic violence.
Here’s the link to the Wikipedia page on the Violence Against Women Act. Funny how some in the government are clearly against this law. That’s about as craven as it gets.
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. Last year I had a 10 great minute clip with "War Is Over" at the back end. This year it's gone, but I found it in two parts. No Fear!
