Cowards

Janice wrote, in part: "Cowards are much more horrified by "conflict"
than they are by
tyranny. The more feminized the males in a society become, the less
they have the stomach for conflict and the more likely they are to
exhibit other feminine traits such as a preference for "consensus".

Cowards can never stay free for long, and if they obtain power,
they'll take the rest of us down with them.

So I view feminized males and other "conflict-averse" mentalities as
a threat to freedom in America, and around the world. I make it my
business to do what ever I can to prevent cowardly mentalities from
obtaining power.

I say it this way: "There will be peace on earth, but only among
men of good will, while thinking: "the rest had better be afraid -
be reeeeally afraid."

Cowards say it this way: "Peace on earth and good will to all
men", while thinking: "because I don't want to offend anyone or hurt
their feelings."

Egad. Master of the pejorative descriptor?

Since I have an innate "preference for consensus," I guess I have been
outed! <G>

My "fights", Janice, were in the civil rights movement of the 60s. As a
very minor player, those "fights" involved confrontations, debates,
writing, and the adoption of three orphans who were not of my "race." It
continues; my last article, for the Rico (Colorado) Bugle last month, was
on one of America's great hero, Rosa Parks. Yes -- the Bugle is on the
web and past issues are downloadable.

In all these encounters, respect for one's opposer (not his or her views)
was paramount.

I must reject your views (above) as misguided caricature.
