<<The answer is inside you. Don't look outward to me.>>

My question was TO you. I asked you how YOU would react if you were a Tutsi, and a bunch of machete-wielding Hutus started heading for you and your family. I think I know how I would react.

I'd get the hell out, if that was possible, or at least hide my family members somewhere, if that was possible. Let me remind you that half a million people were hacked to death in the space of a mere two weeks!!!

Where can YOU find the bright/light side in such a situation? Would YOU go out to meet the mob with "love" in your heart? Do YOU think it would help?

I clearly do not. But the question is -- do YOU?

What good is your "philosophy," if it can't guide you in specific, concrete situations?

As far as the Tutsi/Hutu thing goes it is BUTCHERY.

And if a mob comes at you -you get to smile and say a prayer before they cut off your nards and then your f*cking head. I don't see the bright side of that Freddy boy. If you do, may I suggest you go to Rwanda with your pleasant smile and get yourself hacked to death. It's happened to lots of other people. Lots and lots and lots. Even some very religious folk that probably had a prayer and a smile too. Me, I don't see the light side of mass murder.
