Reply #75: You question my presence on this board?

[Zomby Woof]

I certainly would never have the audacity to question yours. :-(

I thought you were done with this thread, going off to make more posters or get some sleep? Seems strange that an advocate of Gandhi would be so confrontational over something meriting little confrontation as a difference of opinion?

Gandhi didn't waste time arguing with strangers he didn't agree with on a message board. That is the opposite of Gandhi in fact. But I don't claim to be a disciple of him. And history is replete with exceptions to the rule, and his way was not always best for all times or all circumstances. Auschwitz wasn't liberated by a bunch of Gandhis.

Also, I have said TWICE how what I am doing is CONSTRUCTIVE, for ME, on MY TERMS. I have no responsibility for anyone on this board other than myself.

Just because it doesn't involve marching and chanting doesn't mean it isn't constructive.

Truly, those are often the most DESTRUCTIVE means of change. It steels the powers that be against you. They have the money and resources we will never have, 500,000 signatures be damned.
