“Keep Our Heads” UP!

VFP E-News Blast, Sept. 11.
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
Will Threat of WWIII Inspire Another Global Cry for Peace?

 

“KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN” definition.

 “To avoid trouble, to try to avoid trouble or involvement in a difficult or dangerous situation by behaving in a quiet way, so that people will not notice you.  To remain inconspicuous in difficult or dangerous times.”

In several groups recently I observed individuals keeping their head down when Trump was discussed.   Just the opposite of what Congressman John Lewis promoted, that people should create "good trouble," “necessary trouble,” by which he meant the nonviolent action and civil disobedience necessary to refute lies, challenge injustice, and create meaningful change.   –Dick
