In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.

I was proud of the youths who opposed the war in Vietnam because they were my babies.

As a peace activist, I am dismayed by the encouragement of aggressiveness and violence by television, movies, and war toys.
