RW, > Because I am the "beholder of the eye" in this case. As you are the "beholder of the eye" in the case of the American Revolution. And the KKK is the "beholder of the eye" in the case of cross burnings and other racial crimes outlined in your post below? Message 25179369 I guess when everyone is the "beholder of the eye," then no one is. The "logic" of moral relativism can never sustain itself. "Do as you will." Tenchusatsu

And you subscribe to "moral relativism" because you think the violence of the American Revolution was justified. Your commentary here is astounding. To suggest there is some similarity between a group of states asserting their independence from a foreign nation and a handful of rogue terrorists killing their own countrymen is insane. Those who fought for our independence did so on the basis of a democratic decision process. While there were certainly opponents of the Revolutionary War, they were a small minority (perhaps 20% by some accounts, less by others). They undertook the war with the understanding that it could be a ten year fight for their freedom, where a democratic process had yielded a decision to move forward. To even utter the name "Ayers" in the same post is absurd. He was a third rate terrorist, attacking his own people, totally without the support of ANYONE in the nation. There was legitimate, peaceful opposition to the war in Vietnam, yet these people decided the way to accomplish the end was through murder of Americans. What is truly astounding is that you will, in the same breath, support this kind of anti-Americanism as appropriate behavior while decrying Guantanamo or minimalist interrogation techniques. You are one confused individual. Right is wrong, wrong is right, you're all fouled up.
