Looks like they’re starting to make a habit of it: [Man, 72, arrested at Rossi demonstration in Walla Walla](http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2010/10/18/1214480/region-man-72-arrested-at-rossi.html). Right in front of a police officer too. I’d imagine that was indeed some “force” to arrest a 72 year old man. ---

> [@](#): > > Either we choose to continue the cycle of inflicting violence upon each other, screaming at each other, insulting each other and putting one another down or we and find a way to sit down and start listening to each other. We’ll see how far we get. We are all viciously and vociferously feeding a fire that will only burn us down together. We must reach inside ourselves and make space for each other. We must forgive each other. We must believe in our capacity for transformation. The moment we choose compassion and reconciliation is the moment that we will begin to move toward freedom. There is no other way. The willfully ignorant deserve no consideration. They deserve to do the rest of us a favor and drop fucking dead. ---

Unfortunately they remain stubbornly extant, and until the rules change to allow judicious hunting to thin the herd it’s likely best for the society as a whole to treat them with the same compassion as all the other shouty, stinky, obnoxious mental cases that wander the streets like zombies searching endlessly for that one bit of brain. ---

While Ms. Valle’s response is classy and thought-provoking, to be sure, unfortunately the side to which she is writing has no intention of engaging in good-faith debate. They want the rest of us, the ones who disagree with them, to just go the fuck away and let them have their country back. Things were so much better before we got here, and could be again if we’d just either die, shut up, or leave. The very idea that it might be our country, too, is anathema to their way of thinking.
