“...the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Oh how I would love to believe that's true. I'm not saying I disbelieve it, but the past 50 years has called it into question.

It's hard to say. Maybe justice is just a dream. I will always hope not.

#BernieVeep? "@TulsiGabbard gave Bernie Sanders an endorsement. He gave her a platform on war + peace. https://t.co/uUYctOKJVG " MUST READ!

that's what i thought, looking at the mountains surrounding the little village of Ftan, Switzerland: our lives seem frozen in time, just like these mountains.

From the Appeal to Reason: Socialist Legislators from Three Nations Seek to End the War

From the Christmas Day edition of the Appeal comes the news that Socialists from the legislative bodies of Great Britain, Germany, and the United States have asked for an end to the war now raging in Europe:

Socialists Ask to End War in Parliament of Three Nations
-----

Great Britain

On December 8, 1915, Philip Snowden, Socialist member of House of Commons, called upon the British Prime Minister for a statement as to the possibility of ending the war. This was Asquith's reply made in Parliament:

If proposals of a serious character for a general peace are put forward by the enemy governments either directly or through a neutral power they will be discussed by the allied governments.

Asquith thinks it is a sign of weakness for his country to begin peace negotiations. If that view is taken by all seriously and adhered to nothing but death of all the soldiers at the front could possibly end the war. Somebody must begin. Why not Great Britain?
