BERLIN (Reuters) - Yoko Ono, whose husband John Lennon was murdered nearly 30 years ago, opened an anti-violence exhibition called "Das Gift" in Berlin on Friday.

"My latest installation artwork, 'Das Gift', asks for your participation to heal the world of violence," the Japanese-American artist said at the opening.

"The world is full of violence and we all live in fear. I don't like the idea of sweeping problems and fears under the rug. Let's face it and solve it together," she added.

9. Violence is too little acknowledged in our society -- especially these days of MIC rule ....

and Pentagon under contract to networks!!

It's helped to make violence/torture viable again --

in the end, it's not a threat to anyone but citizens!!


Patriarchy and violence are mirror images of one another!
