Peaceworks
"Violence
may murder the murderer, but it doesn't murder murder. Violence
may murder the liar, but it doesn't murder lies; it doesn't
establish truth.... Violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it
doesn't murder hate. It may increase hate.
It is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. This is the ultimate weakness of violence: It multiplies evil and violence
in the universe. It doesn't solve any problems."
-Martin Luther King Jr
