Ted, > What's to understand? Both used violence to try to make change. Since you think gay marriage in California is an issue of "equal protection," would you support the bombing of churches that supported Prop. 8? I am not protecting anything nor do I see the two things as similar......the American revolution and the Vietnam war vs gay rights. The American revolution was about the right to control your own destiny....freedom from foreign dominance and control. The Vietnam war was a fight we should not have been in where many people died. Prop 8 is about making sure the rights guaranteed under the Constitution are applied to all Americans equally. Understand I am not a proponent of violence but of the three, I think violence was most warranted protesting and trying to stop the Vietnam war. The US was out of bounds then just as its out of bounds now in Iraq. After all, what's to understand? You're just using violence to try and make "change." Sometimes violence is the only way to make change. However, it should be the method of last resort and only used in extreme situations like where people are dying wholesale. As for the Mormon church, if it chooses to get involved in the affairs of state as it so likes to do, then as a minimum I think it should lose its tax exemption. However, at no time would I condone bombing a Mormon church.
