Greetings Gman,

Like I said at the end of the post, it wasnt any attempt on my part to tell you what to do. And I dont imagine that you are some kind of thug thta goes around looking to get into punch ups.

The other scenarios you are taking about (the broad spectrum of resisitance movements etc) are all manifestations of the principle of self defence that i was also talking about.

I am no pacifist Gman. In fact I have no problems whatsoever with the application of violence under particular circumstances. It is just that, in my opinion, these circunstances are generally fairly limited, and need to be weighed up against the overall context and possible consequences.

That was all I was trying to say. That, and a genuine concern that you dont end up in the slammer for the sake of a few moments of instant gratification. Arent there enough black people in jail already?

I would also point out the dangers of referring in positive terms to armed struggle on any medium that uses the electro magnetic spectrum. You may just as well be standing yelling in front of the CIA headquarters in Langley.

But hey, like I said, its your call, and its not as if I can check up on you in any case....

All of this has just been a very long winded version of

take care of yourself.

love and life
paul
