Isn’t it time that sensible people just stopped, stopped the machine from running so that time could be taken to reflect upon the fact that things are bad enough right now to demand change right now so that no innocent person more should have his or her life affected by the madness we experience daily in so many wants?

It is time.  It is past time.  The innocent dead are victims of our neglect and cowardice.

Shut it down.  Make the quiet felt.  Stop the dollars from flowing.  For a day or two or three.  Make quiet the weapon for fighting against the outrageous reality we are now forced to accept.
