+ Thanks to the WebWeaver at Presbyterian Voices for Justice, I discovered a wonderful Apache Blessing:
May the sun bring new energy by day,
may the moon safely restore you by night.
May the rain wash away your worries,
may the breeze blow new strength into your being.
May you walk through the world
and know its beauty
all the days of your life.
+ Thanks to Presbyterian Voices for Justice, I discovered that Presbyterian Peace Fellowship offers "Report: U.S. Military aid to Colombia has direct, negative effect on human rights." Excerpt: "Drawing on extensive data from the Colombian Attorney General’s and Inspector General’s offices, 20 human rights organizations, the U.S. State Department, and the Colombian military, the report shows that massive military training, equipment and intelligence provided under the rubric of Plan Colombia have abrogated U.S. human rights law and contributed to the killing of thousands of civilians by the Colombian Army."
+ TruthDig offers "Why the Feds Fear Thinkers Like Howard Zinn" by Chris Hedges. Excerpt: "Zinn, who died in January at the age of 87, did not advocate violence or support the overthrow of the government, something he told FBI interrogators on several occasions. He was rather an example of how genuine intellectual thought is always subversive. It always challenges prevailing assumptions as well as political and economic structures. It is based on a fierce moral autonomy and personal courage and it is uniformly branded by the power elite as 'political.' Zinn was a threat not because he was a violent revolutionary or a communist but because he was fearless and told the truth."
