Arun Gandhi's Thought
I would like to discuss two quotes from Arund Gandhi:
Arun Gandhi said: "You can quote me as saying Mahatma Gandhi would disagree with the Plowshares actions because they employ tactics of secrecy and destruction of property. I also think locking up the most courageous and devoted peace leaders for long prison terms is a way of weakening the peace movement. Those leaders could do much more for peace outside of jail than in it." ( The Jesus Journal - Summer 1995 - No. 77 - page 44 )

- what you say is correct. But, what PEACE? Nobel Peace Prize Committee has over the years twisted the definition of peace. It is not that Gandhi lost something. Could you accept the definition NPP has been thrusting on the world year after every year?

- What you say is correct from an activist point of view.Pragmatic too. The thing is, Nobel Prize committee has usurped the right to define peace. What PEACE? Can you accept the definition of peace being thrust upon the world by the members of NPP year after every year out of political consideration?

- Hi William ~ Did I get back to you? Thought I did, but today has been filled with distractions. Anyway, I have fond memories and great respect for the Berrigans. War resistance is a big tent. Personally, I have no problem with property damage in an attempt to save lives. ~ Chris
