Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

    Maybe it’s because we’re not animals. Had half of this country been educated enough to see what was coming- we wouldn’t be in this mess. Violence will only make it worse.

        Animals as in- barbaric knuckle-dragging cavemen than can’t handle negativity and adversity without harming others.

            Yeah… being nonviolent absolutely is a virtue. A pretty simple one at that. So I’m hoping the signal is loud and clear. And human history? Really? We used to use the practice of trepanning to release evil spirits from one’s head. Doctors once prescribed cigarettes to patients. History is a bad example to use to justify the present.

            And lastly, you have the nerve to tell me to be better while you try and justify acts of violence?

            Be better indeed- and evolve while you’re at it.

          In a game theory situation, One actor that obeys laws vs. another that doesn’t tends to eliminate the one that does obeys laws.

          so even hypothetically, we can’t take the high road as it leads to a cliff.

          and don’t be so naive to think the world peace and order we enjoy wasn’t paid for with blood of our ancestors. The rules you hold dearly now didn’t protect your ancestors when they sought to do what’s right.

          Violence is the hallmark of peace.
