Threshing Machine

Do you think that it matters, to the morale of the troops, whether we win the war or not? Most of them now know (or will conclude) that they have participated, as mercenaries in George Bush's private army, in an unnecessary carnage. This corruption, and not voices opposing the war, will bear out to be the true cause of their demoralization, and their spiritual ruin.

Corruption of soldiers

Devastated by the truth

We will march on our knees: Monday, December 5, 1 PM

Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war.
-- John Andrew Holmes

After an extended, and thus far unsuccessful, campaign by students and KRCC listeners to have independent news programming from Democracy Now! added to KRCC programming, we will bend to our knees on the snow and frozen pavement tomorrow (Monday) to march from Camp Casey to the office of Colorado College president, Dick Celeste.

The action is not symbolic of supplication to President Celeste, nor is it a protest of the college or KRCC radio. Rather we are baring our knees to the frozen snow in solidarity with oppressed people around the world whose voices are represented by independent media such as Democracy Now!.

We hope that you will be able to join us at 1:00 PM Monday. Please support this austerity and participate either on your knees or by marching along side and helping carry our banner, and letters and signatures we have collected for submission to President Celeste.

It is worth mentioning that the student group, Peace Happens, will present its weeklong symposium on non-violent solutions to conflict resolution December 12-17 .

Ha - it all looks a little in vain now doesn't it? Still - if you're spending some time mowing your turf or or whatever these days then you're probably doing more good for the country.

I regret that youth is wasted on the idealogists.
