Meditation on Wednesday, April 4, 2007
Mar 31st
I received the following email about an hour long meditation in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from the “Peace Center” in Chinatown:
“Join us for Meditation at 1:01 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, 2007 in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
At 6:01 p.m. on April 4, 1968, a shot rang out. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had been standing on the balcony of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, now lay sprawled on the balcony’s floor. A gaping wound covered a large portion of his jaw and neck. A great man who had spent thirteen years of his life dedicating himself to nonviolent protest had been felled by a sniper’s bullet.
Spend an hour in meditation and remembrance of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was assassinated 39 years ago on April 4, 1968.
At The Justice and Reconciliation Center, 19 N. Pauahi Street, Honolulu’s Chinatown 96817, more information: mrjoy@hawaii.rr.com”

Vote For Peace
Oct 28th
As you head to vote, keep in mind your goals, what YOU want to achieve. Does war bring more security? If you could wish one thing upon the world, would it be Huge Corporate Profits?
Vote Peace….

Profiting From War
Oct 28th
While I was watching “Iraq for Sale – The War Profiteers” (a movie by Robert Greenwald, who also did “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price”, “Outfoxed” and “Uncovered” (some of which are available at the Hawaii Public Library)) I felt sick to my stomach. I am either incredibly naive or just not a “hardened businessman”, but the idea to profit from someone else’s hardships hurts. Sure, someone can justify that they are actually helping “rebuild” after the war, but at what cost; corruption, greed, no-bid contracts, etc…?
If you have the chance to watch the movie, you should. It’s not a pleasant experience — seeing the corporations (like Halliburton, CACI, and others) take advantage of a war situation, especially if you feel that the Iraq war was without a just cause — but seeing how the US government operates, and supporting organizations that are trying to make a difference, is definitely beneficial.
