I solemnly swear that I will never initiate the use of force, nor will I allow political representatives to do so on my behalf. I reject the use or threat of violence as a political tool both because it is morally indefensible and practically ineffective.

To be human is to be in error. This condition has the makings of a great comedy or a great tragedy; so far we have chosen the latter.
