Never in the history of this sad planet have so many bitched about so much. And it all amounts to nothing. It isn't changing a damned thing. I have yet to hear "Storm the Castle". "Lynch the bastards!"
Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.
Good video, good thinking, good speaker, faulty message, but certainly not completely faulty.....I'm remembering his suggestion, to those of us "bitching", to form a "pitchfork brigade" and call him when we're ready. Couple that with recent reports about the unprecedented success of Clint Eastwood's movie about The Sniper - and credible reports that many millions of so-called Americans giddily are prostrating themselves adoringly to the actions and memory of that sniper - and any pitchfork brigade would first have to wade through those millions of 'patriots' before even approaching the situs of evil - hereabouts and thereabouts. Our government knows that we pride ourselves on obeying the laws, and that such pride fetters most of us. No such pitchfork brigade will be successful until Americans, somehow, become educated about Who Is Doing What To Whom. At this time, those Americans feel goosebumps when our jet fighters roar over the Superbowl. Those Americans feel real good about themselves for despising an "enemy" that is not an enemy. Those Americans watch Cop Movies on tv, and admire the concept of Force while wishing they had it themselves. Those Americans would be jubilant to call the sheriff's office and report some friends, some neighbors, some relatives who are stockpiling pitchforks - or whatever. Our predicament is well-known at highest levels, and possibly provides much merriment there...
