ray man-

I intend to drive a stake through the heart of evil whenever I confront it.

i know. but it's too anti-life for me.

it snot my path... i like nelson mandela's
approach better. it snot as messy or bloody.

but do what you will. follow your bliss.
it'll eventually work for you in the long run
even if it fails. who knows... maybe it'll lead
you to try another approach.

Being tolerant of the despicable hate being
spewed [by] the Right is a morally reprehensible cop-out
on the part of wishy-washy, namby-pamby "liberals",
perhaps liberals like you.

choosing the opposite tack from despicable hate spewage
is not "Being tolerant" of it... it's a courageous
dedication and personal sacrifice that is much more
difficult than the use of reactionary violence. it's
a different approach to a solution to the same problem.
it worked well in south africa against apartheid with
minimal casualties. and it worked well in the united
states against racial discrimination.

it's not easy and requires great sacrifice. many
people raised in western culture, organized religions,
heavily militarized countries and places where they show
a lot of john wayne fantasy movies aren't cut out
for it... (including you, obviously). it's okay. follow
your heart. the universe is perfect and these opposing
polarities are what creates the energy and dynamics to
keep it growing and evolving.

but there's no need to make enemies of people who don't
use hatred, fear and anger as a guiding force in their
lives - they're not a threat to you... and i'm not a
threat to you either.
