The point of nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink. A platform which stands a few feet above napalm, torture, exploitation, poison gas, A and H bombs, the works. Give man a decent place to stand.

Mahatma Gandhi was born on this day in 1869. So for the very first time, may I wish everyone a peaceful International Day of Non-Violence.
