Peace Activists
It's important to understand where the peace activists are coming
from. This should help us all in dealing with them. With Americans
involved in a war we neither asked for nor want, many of us will
encounter Peace Activists who will try to convince us that we must
refrain from retaliating against those who terrorized us on
September 11 and continue to wage war against us now. These activists
may
be
alone or in a gathering. Most of us don't know how to respond to
them.
Here are the proper rules of etiquette:
Step 1. Listen politely while this person explains their views.
Listen carefully to their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is
immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we
will only bring on more violence. They will use many rational
sounding arguments, ranging from political to religious to
humanitarian.
Step 2. In the middle of their remarks and without any warning,
punch them in the nose. Hard.
Step 3. When they get up off the ground, they will probably be
very angry and may try to hit you so be careful.
Step 4. Very quickly and calmly remind them that violence only
brings about more violence. Remind them of their strong moral tand on
this matter. Tell them that if they are committed to a nonviolent
approach to violent attacks, they will turn the other cheek and
negotiate
a
solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really
believe what they are saying.
Step 5. Most of these peace activists will, after some
consideration, agree that you are correct.
Step 6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Much harder.
Step 7. Repeat steps 2-5. Eventually they'll get the point.
