[Peace-discuss] my generation is under-represented in the peacemovement

[E.Wayne Johnson]

The problem limiting the success of the Peace Movement
is that the Peaceniks don't make bombs.

Writing letters, Facebook arguments, and boycotts don't get their attention.

The only thing that they will understand is the equivalent of a 2x4 up the 
side of the head.

Mind you, this is not a call for violence but it is a call for an honest 
admission of the ineffectiveness of the methods employed presently.  There 
are no E's for Effort, just a "close, but no cigar".
