RE: what should we do?

Connie,
Thanks for your response.  We agree that this situation is complex and must
be addressed on a myriad of fronts.  Actually, when I read your original
email, the body of your email *only* contained the MLK quote below. I read
the quote as your answer to "what should we do?"

I believe that we are seeking the same outcome, although we apparently
differ greatly as to the path to that outcome.

Respectfully,

Mel

The quote that you posted (perhaps Bin Laden and Saddam would find this
en-"light"-ening):
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing that it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing
evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you
do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely multiplies violence, adding
deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive
out hate; only love can do that." the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
