53. Actually was busy teaching non-college stuff today
and I posted elsewhere in the thread tonight. People confuse a violent person with the mayhem they create, but they are often not proportional. See post 39.
My real thrust here is that its not really possible to create some sort of calculus that can measure political violence. Way way way too many variables. As for rationalizing mayhem, we all do it. The discussion of why its OK is what is of interest. First response was interesting in that regards.
I am yet to meet a true pacifist though there are a few Buddhist monks that get real close.
