"You were born a white man in mid-twentieth century industrial
America. You came into the world armed to the teeth with an arsenal of
weapons. The weapons of privilege, racial privilege, sexual privilege,
economic privilege. You wanna be a pacifist, it's not just giving up guns and
knives and clubs and fists and angry words, but giving up the weapons of
privilege, and going into the world completely disarmed. Try that."
"Force is the weapon of the weak."
Utah Phillips reflects on his experiences with Ammon Hennacy and becoming a pacifist. From the album "I've Got to Know".
RIP Utah
