By that definition of "violence," how many acts of outrage were committed by the Reparations marchers last week? How many acts of "violence" are perpetrated daily by (c)rap "artists" the media regard as heros? How many slanders are directed against white males? Right now, a bestselling book is entitled Stupid White Men. Can I sue Michael Moore for "violence" against me? Can I have him arrested (for anything other than felony ugly)?

This Orwellian redefinition of terms seems to be ominously selective in its breadth.

Heck, by that definition I consider every vile thing that comes out of James Carville to be violent!

Seriously, good job, Libertina!

"Violence" is hitting somebody over the head with a chair"

Ladylib, your definition of violence is in keeping with mine. If we want to have less violence we must emphasize good character, bravery, standing up for what is right, courtesy, hard word, and responsibility. (Rather than sensitivity, getting along, and "world robotics.")
