Or would you willingly have every man, woman, and child in America die? Would you willingly see the destruction of America?

LOL! Get a grip, son.

Life isn’t pretty

Especially when you spend it in the grips of irrational hysteria.

Life isn’t pretty, and sometimes one is forced to do nasty things in order to stay alive. I hope we don’t ever reach this point. But you’re arguing that even if we did, we should just take it - again and again.

All I've argued is that should push come to shove, that we should do whatever necessary, *WHATEVER* necessary, to end this scourge.

And I've argued that there is no need at this time to go as far as mass killings to end this.

But, I have made it clear that should there be a situation that would necessitate it, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

You're basic argument, as I take it, is that *no matter what*, we should never, EVER, resort to mass killings or genocide.

Which, in essence, boils down to the notion that you'd die for your beliefs... and I'd be willing to kill for mine. One salves your conscience until you die, and the other lets you live so you can atone afterwards.

There isn't a way to meet in the middle on this.
