rahl just proved Will's point. Of COURSE a position of violence-aversion seems impossibly naive to a position of violence-acceptance. Just like a position of violence-acceptance seems needlessly brutish to a position of violence-aversion. My position seems best to me, but only because it's mine. Objectively, I can see it's no better than the opposite.
You may be right, will. You may have your finger on the thing that makes (in my view) conservative fanatics so much more dangerous than liberal fanatics. I don't mean dangerous in the "push through policies that are bad for the country" sense. I mean dangerous in the "stalk you, hunt you down, and mother fucking shoot you" sense.
