I realize I am bandwagon jumping, but there are some things that need to be shared.

[livejournal.com profile] porcinea 's eloquent explanation of why she works for peace.

For those who view the war as a necessary evil, it is still important to remember that it is an evil. When we can contemplate the deaths of children half a world away and without sadness shrug them off as "collateral damage" (one of the grossest obscenities of our age) is when we begin to lose our humanity.

May I .sig this, please?

Thanks! I've attributed it to "Pat Greene". Is that good?

Thanks for the link. I need inspiration like that sometimes—I've explained the reason it's inspiration in my comment for that entry.

Hi, I'm Fiona.

I spotted Serene's .sigging of this elsewhere and decided on the spot that I need to friend you.

We have a number of friends and communities in common.
