I wish you were right KG. But it ain't that way.No Justice, No Peace.
That really means: If you don't pacify us, we will squall, and carry-on, and slash your tires in Milwaukee...and whatever means will justify our ends, up to and including the Necessity Defense.It's a good hope. It is! But, to borrow from John Mellencamp, 'That ain't America'.It reminds me of a startling event of about 20 years. Had this downstairs neighbor for a couple of years. Seemed pleasant enough, but we weren't her kind of people, though it was never actually discussed. Almost a decade later I worked in the same company and got to know of her politics, lefty deluxe. You might recall that day, I saw her across the parking lot and ran over to ask if she'd heard about the assasination attempt on President Reagan. This normally pretty, refined(by all appearances) women spun on me with a snarl on her face and in her voice and growled, I hope he dies.A memorable moment. I never looked at her the same after.If the modern christian(myself included) were that sort of zealot since then, this country would be a better place(for everyone) today.
