Out of the Mouths of Babes...

My 6 year old son and I were discussing the Beatles the other day when the conversation came around to the murder of John Lennon. After considering the matter briefly he asked, "Why do some people kill other people when they are people too?"

Pacifism ain't rocket-science; it only looks that way because so many people resist the obvious. The source of this resistence is not intellectual but moral. I say this as one who resisted pacifism "on principle" for many years.
