54. No "they " are not

again, this is all a matter of opinion.

"We" are "all" one people.

I think King is down with me on that. Opinions may vary



Re: the rest

"I don't know what the hell you are talking about with * in this situation. Care to elaborate?" sure, its using an analogy to shed light for you on the chosen logic of violence and a double standard in judging the supposed action/inaction of entire populations.

ie:

"The Palestinian people allow terrorists to not just hang out in their communities, but to thrive."

The American people ('they') allow the president/republicans/neocons ('terrorists') not just steal the whitehouse ('hang out') but to thrive (create wars).

If you can't get this I can't help you. Based on your logic the bombing of the WTC and Pent was a justified violent response based on the inaction of the Amercan people to the theft of the WH (and the carnage that WH was poised to create/have already created (Bush 1/raygun)). According to the logic you present it was. I disagree.

The logic of violence will bite you in the ass.

King understood this. Hopefully, one day you will as well.

Violence begets violence

Bill
