I love y'all.

The disappeared, the lurkers, the participants.

Fer real.

So yeah, let's fuss. Let's fight. Let's discuss.

But let's not suspect one another of bein' haters. Mmm K?

I just wantcha to know I don't think that.

Can we at least operate with that understanding while we duke it out? :)

And yeah, I *still* say this discussion is about thinking, not feeling. Let me be a contradiction like that. It best approximates real life to Let It Be that strange contradiction.

Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. - Che Guevara

If not, rent it.

* Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys a community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

* I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need. Because this is the situation, you and I have to preserve the right to do what is necessary to bring an end to that situation, and it doesn't mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don't even call it violence when it's self-defense, I call it intelligence.
