Lungisa Ukunyakaza Kokuthula: Ungabuzi Ungatsheli Ukuthi Akusebenzi

Ngu-Ed O'Rourke

Abaholi kanye namalungu amaningi enhlangano yokuthula bakholelwa ekukhulumisaneni futhi benza umzamo omncane noma awekho nhlobo ukufinyelela kulabo abangase babe nozwelo. Ngikubonile lokhu kuwo wonke amawebhusayithi okuthula. Bakhuluma akekho noyedwa ongekho kulo mnyakazo.

Abezemvelo bakha ichibi elikhulu labangaba nokuzwelana. Bayaqaphela ukuthi isintu ngeke sizuze ukuncipha ngo-90% kokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngokusebenzisa nje amalambu kakhokho. Ukuthula okuluhlaza noma ukuthula nganoma yimuphi omunye umbala kudinga izinguquko ezinkulu kwisabelomali sezokuvikela, uhlelo lwejele lase-US, uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo lwase-US, kanye nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi impi yezidakamizwa, ingasaphathwa eye-No Child Left Behind test prep imfundo izingane zethu eziyikho. okwenzekayo.

Osebenza naye wathi, “Uma ungaceli, awutholi. Cela inyanga. Iqembu lendawo lama-Houston Democrats likhiphe iSimemezelo saseBraeswood, lifuna:

1. ukuqala uhlelo lomhlaba wonke lokulwa nobumpofu,
2. ukukhokhisa intela yokuthengiswa kwezikhali kwamanye amazwe,
3. ukuqala ukumisa ucwaningo lwezikhali,
4. ukunciphisa isabelomali sezempi sase-US esikhukhumele ngo-50%,
5. ukuqeqesha amabutho ethu ahlomile ukusiza ezinhlekeleleni,
6. ukusungula uMnyango Wokuthula ezingeni lekhabhinethi,
7. ukunciphisa izikhali zenuzi zibe ziro noma cishe ziro, futhi,
8. ukuxoxisana ngazo zonke izikhali zenuzi zomhlaba ukuze ziphume isixwayiso se-trigger.

Lezi yizincomo zami eziqondile zenhlangano yokuthula:

1. Bhala izindatshana ezinezinyathelo ezithile (njengeSimemezelo Se-Braeswood) ukuze uzuze ukuthula emhlabeni. Nginikeza isihloko sami, "Isimemezelo Se-Braeswood: Ukuqedwa Kwempi," http://txgreens.org/drupal/node/52 ngezinguquko ezincane zingabhekiswa emaqenjini athile. Ngifake amazwi acashunwe kuDouglas MacArthur ngenxa yerekhodi lakhe lezempi elimsulwa kanye nezitatimende zakhe zokuqeda impi. Bengifuna ukukhombisa ukuthi amaqhawe avelele hhayi ama-hippie kuphela, amaQuaker kanye noprofesa basekolishi abangakwesobunxele baye bakhuthaza ukuqedwa kwempi.Ncoma izinyathelo ezithile esihlokweni sakho. Kube nezitatimende eziningi ezinezisusa ezinhle ezifana ne-Kellogg Briand Pact yango-1928 engashongo nesiphakamiso esisodwa esiphathekayo sokuqeda impi.
2. Thumela imibono emaphephandabeni emvelo, omagazini kazwelonke kanye namaphephandaba endawo.
3. Cela ukugunyazwa emaqenjini emvelo, iminyango engaphakathi kwamanyuvesi, amasonto, abangenele ukhetho kwezombusazwe, amaqembu ezepolitiki kanye nama-Rotary Club.
4. Kumawebhusayithi okuthula, hlinzeka ngemibuzo (ukuphikisa) evela kubantu abacabanga ukuthi umbono awusebenzi. Nikeza izimpendulo. Isibonelo, omunye angase athi ngabe silahlekelwe yiMpi Yezwe Yesibili ukube siphishekele isu lokuthula. Noma uJesu wathi ziyohlale zikhona izimpi. Impi iyingxenye yemvelo yomuntu. Bona lokhu: Ed, Siyabonga ngokwabelana nge-“Braeswood Declaration: the Abolition of War”. Kuyinto enhle ukuthi uyazifela ngezinkolelo zakho zezepolitiki. Ngeshwa, iqiniso labantu bangempela abafana noHitler, Stalin, Pot, Bin Ladin, Saddam, the ELFs njll bangenza ithiyori yakho isiphetho sesintu. Ukusetshenziswa kwezimali okukhulu kwezempi kwase-US kusindise ubuntu. Dave Lezi ukuphikisa fair zidinga izimpendulo. Ngazizwa ngale ndlela kwaze kwaba ngu-1969.

5. Nikeza ngokuthile kusizindalwazi ngasinye sokuthula izizathu zokuthi kungani isivakashi singayenqaba ngempela impi futhi sibeke izindaba zomuntu siqu zabantu abafana nami ababengamaqhawe e-gung-ho abona kancane kancane ubuze bempi. Yonke iwebhusayithi yezohwebo itshela isivakashi ukuthi imikhiqizo noma amasevisi abo angabahlula kanjani abaqhudelana nabo ngentengo, ikhwalithi, kanye/noma ukulethwa. Kodwa izingosi ezingezona ezohwebo zibalekela izizathu. Isibonelo, iwebhusayithi yeVatican ayinazo izizathu zokuba umKatolika noma uhlale ungumKatolika.

Okwamanje angikakayiboni isizindalwazi sokuthula esinikeza amaphuzu abalulekile naphikisanayo kubacwaningi, abafundi, abezindaba noma abavakashi abavamile ebonisa imephu yokuthi ungafika kanjani lapho (izwe elinokuthula) kusukela lapha (lapho abaqhushumbisi bebhomu noma i-jet fighter abashayeli bezindiza bathatha izimpilo ezingenacala). 6)

6. Ngiphakamisa ukuthi amaqembu okuthula akhokhele amafemu obudlelwano bomphakathi ukuze aqhube amaqembu agxilile azohlonza izinkathazo zabaqeqetshi abangazi impi. Landela abantu abafanayo ngemva kokuthola izimpendulo ezinkingeni zabo.

7. Yakha izingoma, imidlalo, amamuvi, izindaba ezimfishane kanye namanoveli abungaza ukuthula. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, ngezwa kaMarty Robbins ethi “Ballad of the Alamo” okokuqala ngqa emashumini eminyaka. Ingoma yangishukumisa, nakuba ngingumuntu othanda impi. Izingoma ezifana ne-"Crystal Blue Persuasion" ka-Tommy James kanye ne-Shondell zibonisa umbono wokuthula. Kubantu abadala abasebasha, izingoma zikaPete Seger noma ethi “Nikeza Ukuthula Ithuba” Amabhungane kungase kube izibonelo zokukhuthaza. “The Underdogs” ka-Mariano Azuela, u-Gunther Glass kanye no-Kurt Vonnegut babonisa ukungabi nalusizo nokulimala kwezempi. I-“All Quiet on the Western Front” namanye akudala kanye namamuvi esimanje ambalwa angase abize ama-peaceniks esenzweni futhi azenzele umphakathi. Amaqembu okuthula kumelwe afinyelele inhliziyo nengqondo.

8. Ngethemba, izinhlangano zokuthula zamaKhatholika zizobhala incwadi yomthetho ukuze uPapa ayisayine ehlanganisa iziphakamiso ezithile, njengoHlelo lwesibili lukaMarshall lwabampofu emhlabeni noma intela yokuthengisa yezimpahla zezikhali zamazwe ngamazwe nezinye izinto. Gwema izinto ezijwayelekile ezingavunywa ngisho namaqhawe abese ekhala noma aqambe amanga kamuva, njengoba kwenza uRobert McNamera noma uRobert Gates. Phela, uMongameli Bush ufuna ukuthula kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngeke avumelane nanoma yini esihlokweni esithi “Braeswood Declaration: the Abolition of War”. Faka uhlelo lwezikhathi noma okungenani umuzwa wokuphuthuma.

Incazelo engakahleleki yobuhlanya ukwenza into efanayo ngokuphindaphindiwe ulindele imiphumela ehlukene. Inhlangano yokuthula kumele ibe yinto esondelene nenqwaba yabantu ukuze iguqule lokho okwenziwa osopolitiki bethu kanye nosonkontileka bezokuvikela futhi iguqule isiphithiphithi, ukucekelwa phansi nokufa kwamanje. Amaqembu okuthula kufanele enze izinto ngendlela ehlukile ngo-2007 futhi kusukela manje ukuze azuze imiphumela efiselekayo. Bangenza isidingo sokuthula sibe yingxenye yezingxoxo zezwe.
