Looking Ahead

I know it's not a pleasant thought to consider doing harm to fellow citizens, and that's why it's imperative we exercise what political influence we have in order to avoid the need for violence.

As many reasonable people have pointed out, though, protesting crimes against humanity, and decrying the present corruption killing innocents foreign and domestic, has accomplished nothing. And should we begin to actually resist these state-sanctioned murders now taking place from New Orleans to Fallujah--using the various forms we've discussed previously--state repression and vigilante harassment will escalate. At that point, some of us will inevitably confront physical violence.

We can either choose to be victims, or we can defend ourselves. It's that simple. I mean, who would stand by idly while someone assaulted their child? Their spouse? Themselves?
