Hey, ya know how it is. Folks think what they want. As a person, I did march in anti-war marches, open housing marches and others. I took a few beatings in the name of pacifism.

I was on the street when the riots took place at Sir George Williams University in Montreal. I was being peaceful, and cop raised a night stick to me. I gave him a strike in the plexus with a rolled up newspaper. Guess what: he didn`t hit me. I don`t think gratuitous violence is in anyone`s best interest. However, the minute someone raises his hand to me, my response is not violence--it`s self-defense.

When trash like Beck, Robertson, Palin, Coulter (and others) speak as they do, they are not worthy of arguing against. Their currency is violence. Pay them in kind.

I have heard the adage that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves everyone blind and toothless. It`s crap when people say that because they seldom mean their eye or tooth should be the first to go.
Philosophy is easy. Facts are hard. Sorry, but if I gotta go, I`ll do so taking some sonuvabitch with me. And, I don`t really care who agrees or disagrees with me. They can go be pacifistic with rabid animals. Not this old boy.

Best regards to you, buddy.
