Many thanks to Kim for passing this along!

Whole World Pledge

http://wholeworldpledge.org/gp/in...?option=com_jambook&Itemid=89

The pledge:

I shall always do my best to neither take part in nor knowingly support any action that requires anyone to suffer harm.

They let you leave a comment when you sign. My comment was:

Voting is an action. Voting in an election of a country like the United States which is engaged in wars of aggression, which are the worst crimes against humanity and cause great suffering and harm, would, in my opinion violate the pledge. If people in the United States, understanding that our wars of aggression have already killed more than seven million innocent people, and that the only presidential candidates with a chance of winning are committed to continuing the genocides in Iraq and Afghanistan, simply refrained from voting, the government of the United States could no longer claim to be a democratically elected government with the consent of its citizens. This could easily lead to peace.

Mark, my sincere thanx for paying this one forward. I feel it's important on many fronts; for people around the world to wake the hell up and say no mas! No more will I support those who seek to do harm to anyone! No more will I support those who harm the Earth. No more will I support those who are opposed to peace and harmony for ALL of humanity!
We are one race; those who think differently and wish to continue to harm others may find themselves the minority.
I can only keep the Faith in the positive results.
Again, my deep and sincere appreciation for posting this pledge!
