[Peace-discuss] Urbana City Council meeting last night

[C. G. Estabrook]

"...woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of 
the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are 
going in, you stop them."  Cf., e.g., the treatment of the Samaritan woman.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C.S. Lewis
