Ahem:
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)
Not exactly sure where this came from or for what purpose. I was simply quoting BobDylan's "Masters of War". Following suit with all the other posts containing song lyrics and DR's post about War. Just wanted to trow a little Folk Music into the mix.

No reason to edit your post. We have made it this far without flaming. I take no insult to what you said, I just want you to understand what my quote was about.
