In No Bars to Manhood, Dan Berrigan wrote:

"Of course, let us have peace," we cry, "but at the same time let us have normalcy, let us lose nothing, let our lives stand intact, let us know neither prison nor ill repute nor disruption of ties ... " There is no peace because there are no peacemakers. There are no makers of peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison, and death in its wake.

From a column by Ray McGovern in a Truthout/Perspective.
It is something I have wondered about for a while now. What is it going to take to get to the next level of our outrage? So that finally we can bring an end to the barbarity that swirls around us on a constant daily basis.
