A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on social uplift is approaching spiritual death. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

January 15th, 2010

A
true
revolution of
values will lay hand on
the world order and say of war,
“This way of settling differences is
not just.” This business of burning human
beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes
with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs
of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane,
of sending men home from dark and bloody
battlefields physically handicapped and
psychologically deranged, cannot
be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and
love.

A
nation
that continues
year after year to spend
more money on military defense
than on programs of social
uplift is approaching
spiritual
death.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
