Armed Forces Day & Endangered Species Day
Armed Forces Day and Endangered Species Day!
Today, May 21, 2022, is Armed Forces Day in the US. Yesterday, was Endangered Species Day! The two go together.
As the late Jesuit priest Richard McSorely said: “The taproot of violence in our society today, is our intent to use nuclear weapons. Once we have agreed to that, all other evil is minor in comparison. Until we squarely face the questions of our consent to use nuclear weapons, any hope of large-scale improvement of public morality is doomed to failure.
The US proxy war in Ukraine risks nuclear war. In my view it is the most dangerous time in human history. More weapons and war is not the answer. Diplomacy is. Peace is a victory for all sides.
