Our Collaboration

Our Collaboration When sympathy reach its limit? Day after day we see on the TV screen war and wanton killing, the temptation is to turn the TV off or find a channel with funny cartoons. How many children were killed in Yemen or Syria becomes a political debate, the children a statistic; and we say how people can be so cruel as to kill children. Don`t sit too comfortable in your easy chair, ask the question who gave them the weaponry to make their killing…we did. Without our complicity, there would have been no wars to speak of, but we prefer not to know. But we can march and hold our government and other arms dealer to account, if we shout long enough, we will be heard. Do that before you sit in the comfortable chair your conscience is clear and you have saved many children’s life

So much of this is just stinking politics. People treated as pawns!
