Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors
Should There Be A Draft?
American Born, Addicted to Happiness

The more taboos and prohibitions there are, 
  the poorer the people become.
The more deadly weapons there are,
  the more our fears turn us numb.

When craftiness spreads far, 
  the more bizarre what is done, 
The stricter the laws there are, 
  the less the robbers run.

Simplicity Blossoms When Coercion Dies
LAO TZU (abt.551-479 BCE)
Verse 57 Tao Te Ching,
as translated by Ralph Alan Dale (2002)
