I suspect you would find few among us who would be willing to suffer more than mental anguish for this cause (I know that I am not). We make speeches, carry signs, write LTTEs, attend concerts, hand out pamphlets, even make movies (stuff I would be doing anyway). A few have the courage to get themselves arrested, but so far I have not seen anything approaching the sacrifice required to garner the respect of the minds we are hoping to change toward peace.

I am not a brave man, but I was watching the Civil Rights March on You-Tube today
I have a dream
and after watching this, I was ready to face the firehoses, beatings, dogs, or worse. But for impeachment, in my heart I don't have much I would sacrifice.

I think that our cause has no spiritual core (nothing that appeals to mans better nature). It is my opinion that without a spiritual core, our movement is a ship without direction. The bitterness and hatred we so readily call upon does nothing to bolster our numbers. Rather, it merely mobilizes the worst among us to acts of anger which deafen our purpose for peace. That is probably why the politicians choose to not pay heed.

It is my suspicion that the quest for impeachment is merely a swipe at the branches, and does not go after the roots of the problem.

"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred." - Martin Luther King, Jr (from the aforementioned speech).

Peace, and Courage to all my brothers and sisters.
