... I am at a loss for words. I have already been beaten by the militarists.

I don't know how many more planes need to be slammed into buildings for the reality sink into a pacifist's head. American-born extremist are treasonous.

I agree with you that humans live and die. Unfortunately the American Civil Liberty Union wants to upset this balance by being in favor of traitors living.

I wonder how many millions more people will die in how many destructive conflicts before the racist-nationalists realize they are destroying humanity.

He's decided that as a pacifist, I must be an extremist, and as an American-born pacifist, I must be some sort of blood traitor. Because I reject militarist values of blood, land, oaths, orders, and war, and he accepts these values, he declares that I am a traitor, and I must die.

He's not threatening me in person, of course, just the millions of other human beings who wish to live human lives.

And, as we learned before the Iraq War, the press repeats the government's stories without taking the time to separate fact from fiction.

You can't have a free society without a free press. You can't have a free press unless it is independent of the power structures. In America, the press is only too eager to report state and corporate propaganda for its stories, and too reluctant to question the official story.
