Ted, > 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.

The logic has been twisted so much by violent activists that it's hard to tell the difference.

People who advocate bombing abortion clinics, for instance, think they're saving the lives of the unborn.

People who advocate vandalizing Hummer dealerships or bombing coal power plants think they're helping to prevent global warming, which they see as a threat to humanity's very existence.

There is no limit to the amount of violence that can be justified based on what you feel is an "extreme situation."


Good points.......that's why I think it should be used as an option of last resort.

You see nothing wrong with the extreme violence committed by your government Ten. They get an exemption from your "moral absolutes". They are equipped to commit the most extreme violence imaginable, and do.

Ayers was piddling compared to the other side, busily killing 3 million Vietnamese and 60,000 Americans. A gnat VS a B-52.
