Platt: >>So, would you do away with the police and the military because they are
not morally superior to criminals and enslavers?
I'm glad that you see the equality of the two. The key here is that
you don't stoop to that level yourself. You make use of the intellect
so highly touted around here. Somehow, you figure out how not to use
violence to stop violence. Don't ask me how. But making the
commitment, making that choice seems to me to be of the higher
quality. At least it is for me. There's a Buddhist saying that
basically says although we acknowledge that it is impossible, still we
try. What other choice is there, truly?
