	In Memoriam: Philip Francis Berrigan, 1923-2002
		On December 6, 2002, Philip Berrigan, friend, husband, brother, and mentor to an entire generation of peace activists, died of cancer at Jonah House, surrounded by friends and family.
		In his last statement, Berrigan said: "I die with the conviction, held since 1968 and Catonsville, that nuclear weapons are the scourge of the earth; to mine for them, manufacture them, deploy them, use them, is a curse against God, the human family, and the earth itself."
		I wonder whether it is time to decide that living with the Bomb for half a century is enough, enduring a war every year is enough, the bloated Pentagon system is enough, an environment poisoned by nuclearism is enough, a government run by the rich and their corporate lobbyists is enough.
