We’re in it. Not because we want to be. Not because we chose to be. Because power-drunk fools have put us there.
Two phrases, taken together, probably constitute the origin of violence and conflict throughout the history of mankind. They are the imperative command “Submit,” and the responsive challenge, “Or what?” I am guessing billions have died as a result of that conversation, because the follow-on to “or what” is when the stabbing, hacking, shooting, and bombing starts. If one wishes to avoid that violence, it is best to avoid forcing that discussion.

there is no avoidance. they will keep pushing until pushed back, and if not pushed back, they will grow bored and do violence upon us just for fun. we are pretty much there now. no, its better to answer with gfy, and get down to business.
