People Killing Convince

More From Molly Ivins

I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life. we cannot support any act of killing; no killing can be justified. but not to kill is not enough ... if in your thinking you allow the killing to go on, you also break this precept. we must be determined not to condone killing, even in our minds.
Thinking Support Mind
The true enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. no, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. above all, he values the intellectual independence of others too highly to want to convince them in important matters. he would much rather invite contradiction, preferably in the form of rational and disciplined criticism. he seeks not to convince but to arouse - to challenge others to form free opinions.
Free Opinion Challenges Intellectual
Once you convince people that they're victims, you really own them because you've just told them that whatever problems they have in life, it's not their fault. and then you're telling them they can't fix them by themselves. look at your life. your life sucks. you're a victim of these people here, you can't fix it. you need us looking out for you. "us" being the democrat party in this case, the people that go out and get votes.
Party People Life Sucks
The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. no religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.

I'm not better than anyone, and i'm not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what's right. i'm trying to convince them to live by their own.
People Trying Standards
One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. that is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. that reality is why the word abortion exists. some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. "abortion" is cloaked child-killing

Children are very cruel, yes. of course. children are extraordinarily cruel little creatures.
Children Littles Creatures
O friends, be men; so act that none may feel ashamed to meet the eyes of other men. think each one of this children and his wife, his home, his parents, living yet and dead. for them, the absent ones, i supplicate, and bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.
Children Home Eye
We humans are born egocentric. the sky thunders and children believe that god is mad at them for something they've done - parents divorce and children believe it's their fault for not being good enough. growing up means putting aside our egocentricity for truth. still, some people cling to this childish mind-set. as painful as their self-flagellation may be, they'd rather believe their crises are their fault so they can believe they have control. in doing so they make fools and false gods of themselves.
