Jefferson said to be 'cool and unruffled' (which is good)- not to suppress very appropriate and sometimes necessary emotions like anger. Being at peace with yourself does NOT mean feeling no anger. That is silly. It is natural to feel anger at injustice, it's what you do with the anger that matters. Are we going to respond with fear and hatred or love for humanity? I have peace that my response is the appropriate one. I have no fear or hatred -- but "laughing at this criminal mischief" is not even a choice for me because this sure as HELL isn't funny. And their war crimes are a lot more than childish mischief, so laughing at them is anything BUT responding with love. But if that is how you and A want to respond then fine. It is not for me to tell anyone what to feel or not. You tend your feelings, I'll tend mine.Undead Poet wrote:I posted this before, or so I thought

It is better to laugh at this criminal mischeif then get angry. You wont convince anyone if you are angry and argumentative. Getting pissed wont help overthrow the Bush Family Treason. Laugh it off, be at peace with yourself and be prepared for whatever is next. You are the face of the revolution.
Do you respond to bullies who are hurting people by laughing at them? I don't. I get angry and take action to stop them. Not sure what good laughing does.
