Re: NON-PD: Giant awakens

[Ted Menser <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't suppose there is a solution.  There are simply difficult choices --
either continue as things are or take a stand.  War is an option if one is
attacked.  Yes, war is violence, but that has never disqualified it as a
means of redressing grievances.  Horrible at best, but that was the way our
own country was born.
Some things are worth fighting for, and to me, freedom is still one of them.
