Please add the entire Bush & Obama administrations! Partisanship is entirely unwarranted. They all gotta go! Que se vayan todos!

Thanks for the discussion. I've long believed that non-violence is a luxury not afforded to the starving, that it is a means of saving one's skin as much as it is a principled response, especially if the skin is white! Yes violence is frightening but to privileged Westerners who don't know what it's like to be targeted, assaulted and maimed over a long period of time, non-violence is an easy option and a safe response. And a sanctimonious one, which gets lots of praise from abusive politicians, since it is non-threatening (unless accompanied by massive direct action).

Here I must recommend "How Non-Violence Protects the State" by Peter Gelderloos.

Life imitates art? I'm thinking of "The Ghostwriter" Can anyone doubt the reason that the US [in]justic system is so vindictive re Polanski?
