The sins of the father will be revisited...

Mar 21, 2003 15:14

The peace protesters of the 60s left the nation and the world of legacy of mostly responsible activism against the moral derelictions of government. They also commited irresponsible acts that I have always found disgusting, and now are coming back to haunt the anti-war population now ( Read more... )

So far, the anti-war left has been splintered, reactionary, ignorant, uninformed, and possessing a number of other less than elegant attributes, but at least we've learned one thing and gotten one thing right.

"Bring our soldiers home safe. Now."

amen, shalom, and all the other sentiments i'm forgetting.

Okay apparantly it does not matter how many times i say this. But i will try once more.

So far, the anti-war left has been splintered, reactionary, ignorant, uninformed, and possessing a number of other less than elegant attributes, but at least we've learned one thing and gotten one thing right.

So far, the pro-war right has been splintered, reactionary, ignorant, uninformed, and possessing a number of other less than elegant attributes, but at least we've learned one thing and gotten one thing right.

Neither of these statements are correct. Neither are true. Very thoughtful people are standing strong on both sides. Both groups have some who are ignorant and some who are brilliant. That is the way it works. Maybe there are a few more vociferous idiots on the left because they try harder to be heard than those idiots on the right. But trust me - There are well-informed, united, thoughtful, and elegant people on both sides and there are fools on both sides. I know you are open minded and well read. Try not to generalize.

I agree that both sides have it's brilliant people and it's morons but
when talking about the movement as a whole one has no choice but to generalize.

We generalize! As language speaking creatures, we generalize, distort, and delete. If we didn't generalize, we'd have to figure out where every key is every new keyboard we come across. So generalizing isn't a bad thing to do, as long as it's useful, and not over generalizing. Was I over generalizing? I was referring to movement as a whole, not just the thoughtful, bright protesters who work in the UT tower ( ... )
