—–Writes Ginny Garner:“We seek to preserve peace by fighting a war, or to advance freedom by subsidizing dictatorships, or to ‘win the hearts and minds of the people’ by poisoning their crops and burning their villages and confining them in concentration camps; we seek to uphold the ‘truth’ of our cause with lies, or to answer conscientious dissent with threats and slurs and intimidations. . . . I have come to the realization that I can no longer imagine a war that I would believe to be either useful or necessary. I would be against any war.” – Wendell Berry, “A Statement Against the War in Vietnam” during the Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft on February 10, 1968 at the University of Kentucky. .Polyfarm Farm’s Joel Salatin paid tribute to his friend and mentor Wendell Berry, the pro-peace farmer and writer and sustainable agriculture advocate and environmentalist activist.
