Which Side Are You On? How much more can you tolerate?

Ask yourself if your behavior is in line with your values. Accept the challenge to be better a human being, a more responsible earthling.

Nothing will change until we change our minds but it takes courage to perform self-examination. It takes courage to accept everything you know just might be wrong. For the record, it takes far more courage to do this than to willingly enlist to be paid to wage illegal and immoral wars.

Not ask for change, create change.

And they need your support. They need you.
