The Difference Is This

The United States is the world's number one exporter of violence; even so, we manage to manufacture enough to satisfy a seemingly insatiable domestic demand. Our government and its corporate enablers (the Corporatocracy) open new markets for violence every day and the U.S. taxpayer subsidizes the production of the instruments of mass destruction. The Corporatocracy consistently acts to obstruct grassroots attempts to control the dissemination of those instruments to the public at large.



If you don't think we need a non-violent political revolution to end the American violence industry, you are complicit in the daily murder of your fellow citizens. Perhaps you are not troubled by that assertion. Perhaps you would prefer to rehearse talking points about the Second Amendment.

There is a difference between having a conscience and having a set of talking points. The difference is this: a conscience can be stricken.
