Do you know why no one spoke out in Martin Niemöller's poem? It's simple. The people that were taken, every step of the way, weren't seen as people, just threats and enemies. That Hispanic family down the street that came from somewhere else? Just trying to make life better for themselves and […]

The ideas of health and salvation are deeply intertwined in traditional Christian thinking. The body and the soul are united. Thus we confess the resurrection of the body.
To insist that healing of the body only be available to those who can pay for it is akin to the sin of simony -- the buying […]

Spock: "History is replete with turning points, lieutenant. You must have faith."
Valeris: "Faith?"
S: "That things will work out as they should."
V: "But is that logical?"
S: "Logic, logic, logic....logic is the beginning of wisdom, lieutenant, not the end."

Did they tell you it was set it stone?
That you'd end up alone?
Use your years to psyche you out
You're too old to care
You're too young to count
Did they tell you, you would come undone
When you try to touch the sun?
Undermine the underground
You're too old to care
You're too young to count

You get to feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won't go away
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars

What about all the broken happy ever afters?

You don't have to be a hero. All you need to do is to live the truth, embody the truth, listen to your conscience, and refuse to bend the knee to anyone who demands you do otherwise. #resist

Protests change nothing if they're only to vent some anger. Be constructive, not destructive. Show those who would oppress anyone they don't like that there is a more excellent way. #resist

Be careful using the past to illuminate the present. The Maquis were a resistance group, sure, but their fight was against both a dictatorial French government and a foreign occupier. Different situations may call for different ways to #resist . (7/5)

Rights which depend on the recognition of others are no rights at all. Rights cannot be given, they can only be inherent. But better than insisting on rights is being right, and better than that is doing right. Doing right, living right, is the essence of how to #resist evil. (5/5, for now)
