[align=center]NOT IN OUR NAME
The Pledge of Resistance
[/b][/align]
[align=center]
[/align]

[align=center]We[/b] believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names

Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil

Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless

Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for

Not by our hands
will we[/b] supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil

Not by our mouths
will we[/b] let fear silence us
[/align]

[align=center]Not by our hearts
will we[/b] allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil

Not by our will
and Not in our name

We[/b] pledge[/b] resistance

We[/b] pledge[/b] alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity

We[/b] pledge[/b] to make[/b] common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace

Another world is possible
and we[/b] pledge[/b] to make[/b] it real.[/b]
[/align]


I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.
