Profile
Will Kirkland founded the Ruth Group website as part of his contribution to the Ruth Group and associated friends -- imagining a shared virtual space for news and opinion not easily found in the large commercial media world. Coming out of the US Navy for refusing to give orders, in 1968, he worked for four years at the Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Palo Alto and then for three years with the United Farmworkers. Currently he does small business computer consulting in the Bay Area, writes, translates and blogs - politics, life and world.

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Tom Paine

---"Dissertations on First Principles of Government," 1795
