Peace Activist Etiquette — gets you to thinking - I rec many
“peace” letters each day & while I’m not a war-monger, per se,
but, this puts it well!

With all of this talk of impending war, many of us will encounter
“Peace Activists” who will try and convince us that we must refrain
from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September
11, 2001.

These activists may be alone or in a gathering; most of us don’t know
how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one
of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up
a conversation if necessary and look very interested in 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 probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious
to humanitarian.

2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in
the nose.

3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry
and they may try to hit you, so be careful.

4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings
about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter.
Tell them if they are really committed to a non-violent approach to
undeserved 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.

5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are
correct.

6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them
much harder. Square in the nose.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the
idiot realizes how stupid an argument he/she is making.

8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting
victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is
unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost. We owe
our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and
our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these.
We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep
getting hit in the nose.
