Addiction should never be treated as a crime. It has to be treated as a health problem. We do not send alcoholics to jail in this country. Over 500,000 people are in our jails who are nonviolent drug users.

I think the only choice that will enable us to hold to our vision... is one that abandons the concept of naming enemies and adopts a concept familiar to the nonviolent tradition: naming behavior that is oppressive.

So that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities.

Desire for truth

Desire for truth
Non-possession
Non-violence
Good for all
And we must bring
Before the table.

A society where
Peace prevails
progress
A society where
Violence prevails
Perishes.

Wolves and goats
Are there to drink
From one and same pool
Be cool
Time is making us
Fool.

This marched was planned to be non violent and non confrontational, and gladly it stayed that way. What really impressed me was the self discipline of the Black Block.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Self Empowerment

Peace within, peace without,
Or be tossed about by
War within, war without.
Enter the island within.
Reflect, thus a new journey begins,
Follow the path Gandhi speaks,
Unalloyed, total, complete,
Love will blossom and violence retreat.
