I refuse to kill your father. I refuse to slay your mother's son. I
refuse to plunge a bayonet into the breast of your sister's brother. I
refuse to slaughter your sweetheart's lover. I refuse to murder your
wife's husband. I refuse to butcher your little child's father. I
refuse to wet the earth with blood and blind kind eyes with tears. I
refuse to assassinate you and then hide my stained fists in the folds
of _any_ flag.
Will you thus pledge me and pledge all the members of our working
class?--_Kirkpatrick._
