Violence

Article here.

I don't get terrorism at all... or even violence as a statement.

Take this group... the Environmental Liberation Front, or ELF. They burn down houses they don't think are built green... or university buildings that are supposedly genetically engineering trees.

Why? Does it really make that much of a statement? Does violence and terrorism really work the way it is supposed to? Does it really change minds and make others convert to your ideals? Will it suddenly make people change their ways?

From my observations, it doesn't.

McMansions are still going up. And you buring houses down only makes me think you are crazy and belong in jail.

People, violence doesn't get you anywhere. And I know there are revoluntions that are bloody and people are liberated... but I still don't know if war is the best answer. Ever. Sorry... call me a liberal, call me a hippy, but I won't change my mind.
