America is a violent place with a violent culture and a violent history. Given this, it's hard to work for non-violent solutions to problems in this country. Too many people assume that peaceful solutions are not solutions, that they are "weak".Look at where violence has gotten us in 8 years. Nowhere.
We aren't safer.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died.
We are going broke.
But at least we can feel tough.
It's time to grow up. Politicians love to talk about violence as a last resort, but they don't really mean it. They turn to it whenever it can distract people or please their corporate masters, who make a killing off the killing. You want a change? Have the courage to stand up for peace.
See how quickly you get shouted down by angry ignorance. Finally, to all you so-called Christians out there: who would Jesus bomb?
