Peace and Life Connections; January 4, 2013 January 4th, 2013
CL President Bill Samuel shares this message he sent to President Obama:
“Mr. President, when you spoke about the tragedy at the school in Connecticut today, you captured the feelings of millions. . . . What puzzles me is why you can’t understand that parents in Afghanistan, Pakistan and everywhere around the world feel for their children like you do for yours.
Yet you continue to order actions which kill many times the number of children that deranged man did today. Why are you so wedded to violence?

2 (Pro-Life) Christmas Classics:
A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life Carry a Message for All Seasons
Dickens’ Christmas Carol . . . is a polemical work: Dickens was sparring with the laissez-faire capitalists whose influence in industrializing Britain sought to limit concern for the poor to running poor houses and treadmills. . . His other target was Thomas Malthus. Malthus, the intellectual granddaddy of zero population growth, had argued that population increase would inevitably lead to disaster. . . Scrooge gives voice to the elite opinion of his day when, dismissing the businessmen who come to his office seeking charitable contributions, he opines that those who would rather die than go to a poorhouse “had better do it and decrease the surplus population.”
