I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses alternatives to violence.
It is the nature and the advantage of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own.
I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.
When I go to movies and I love the movie it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.
Marriage has been defined by every legislature that has ever sat in the United States from every State now 50 States the same way but now we have unelected judges altering and changing that fundamental institution.
The church's teaching on marriage is unequivocal it is uniquely the union of a man and a woman and it is wrong that governments politicians or parliaments should seek to alter or destroy that reality.
Most of these alternative arrangements so-called arise out of the ruins of marriages not as an improvement of old fashioned marriage.
Love does not alter the beloved it alters itself.
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
