The violence of Andrew Breitbart / Waging Nonviolence - People-Powered News and Analysis: "This is why Gandhi said that “a victory won through violence is tantamount to defeat—for it is momentary.”"
This piece was written by a Facebook friend who is not only very smart she is dedicated to serving the greater good through word and deed. She has traveled internationally teaching and learning non-violent strategies and has personally been the victim of Breitbart's attacks.
While I obviously don't follow her lead in regards to civility I feel that her words here should give us all food for thought. I am nowhere near as awful as Breitbart, he used 'Patriotism' as a way to rationalize bile-spewing hatenikism for personal pleasure.
I am an asshole:
1.) to shock people into stopping what they are doing for a moment.
2.) so I don't have a fucking aneurysm and drop dead. (seriously, I tried the whole 'control your temper thing and my BP went through the fucking roof.)
That being said, I am taking her words to heart and will re-evaluate, at the very least my choice of words if not their tone. There is a difference between hurting and injuring. I don't mean to injure anyone-that gets you on an addictive power-trip.
This also in light of comments made recently by a drug addicted convicted felon with an alleged tweak for underage Central American prostitutes.....

I'm the only one allowed to be an abusive douchebag here.
