I mean, if I worked for Apple and walked down the streets of Cupertino with an AK-47, it's not like the police would ignore me and arrest Tim Cook.

While I may be a pacifist myself, I don't think that Jesus was. Jesus preached the virtues of nonviolence and was himself nonmilitant, but the designation "pacifist" is probably anachronistic. Of course, I'm not surprised that this nuance is lost on my hillbilly colleague.<br /><br />Pass the wine and cheese, please.<br /><br />-anthonyAnthony Le Donnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282792648606976883noreply@blogger.com
