Burnin' and Lootin'

[TBF]

7. As a pacifist I hear you -

but I also think about the reality of a world so unequal and a game (economic system) that is so rigged that we have little choice. The rage and despair has to go somewhere. Perhaps a leader will rise up and it will be channeled somehow, but it seems that whenever we get one who is willing to seriously challenge the status quo they are assassinated. Brother Martin was not killed until he started talking about class. Both JKF and Robert were killed because they weren't playing ball the way the status quo wanted them to (and they were a big threat because they had enough money of their own to tell the Bushes of the world to f** * off). POTUS acted like he might challenge, but then he backed off (at least for the time being).

It is really demoralizing to hear folks talk about destruction of property being equal or more important than the killing of a human being.
