“Modern consumer life is a form of extreme passive violence against all people.”

“The passive and overt violence waged against the women and children of the world must end.”

“We have been trained by a culture of violence and we are all agents of passive violence.”

“Because of our interconnectedness we all know that extreme poverty and exclusionary practices are violations against the basic dignity of people.”

“All violence demands reform, and all violence desperately begs to be healed.”

“In consumer life we become what we consume-disposable junk to be used and thrown away.”

“Lust for possession and greed has ravaged the soul of humanity like a great cancer, metastasizing throughout society in the form of a nouveau post-human, consumer hedonism.”
