there's a very narrow class of ideological pacifists that can balance this, and i may not always agree with them, but i think it is imperative that they exist. medea benjamin enrages me more often than not, but i strongly support her right to express herself, and think it's imperative that her and others like her continue doing what they are doing, even when they are clearly overwhelmingly wrong and when action is necessary and just. but you have to hold to your pacifism. you have to be rigid. you have to be honest.
