Replying to nonviolence

I have been disappointed to discover over the years that my beliefs of nonviolence and pacifism are alien to the general public. I'm hoping I can enlighten people as to my philosophy that all killing is wrong and I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who shares my beliefs or disagrees with me.

First of all, I would like to point out that being and advocate of nonviolence does not make me complacent. Far from it. Let me remind you that India gained soviergnity through an agenda of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance. And it's not easy, either. Thousands of Indian civilians were killed. But their deaths, instead of inciting anger in other countries, as do the deaths of Palestinian suicide bombers, turned public sympathy toward India and served to portray the British occupying forces as monsters.

I am not a coward. If a draft is instated, I'm not fleeing to Canada. I'm going to jail.

Violence solves nothing. As exhibit A, I present: the history of the known universe. Discuss.
