I'm not a Ghandi pacifist, but Nishkama Karma always fascinated me. Detached action, theoretically enables you to do non-pacifist things, such as forcibly eject a nasty landlord (throw him over a fence), as was done in an English pacifisst commune in the 1930's.
As long as the action doesn't corrupt you, it's permissible. Maybe I need an expert on Satyagraha (firmness in the truth, passive resistance) to explain this.
I could Nishkama Karma a lot of red heads and get away with it?
The better question is why, in the face of liberalism's utter destruction of liberty, freedom and prosperity, does anyone of any religion support Obama?
I'm sure you've noticed that the Tea Party is a fake "Astroturf" movement. I plan to be at Santa Ana, CA protesting.
I've heard that the "vast right wing conspiracy" pays you more if you bring a home made sign. I may not have time to do that, so I need to know where to catch the bus, pick up my free sack lunch, my machine made sign and my "envelope" from the "insurance company" so I can get to the Tea Party Rally. The shop steward said that I was supposed get overtime for this, so I hope that the organizers are aware of the rules governing legitimate protesters!
I'm going tomorrow after school/work and I'll be 'packin' my "INFILTRATOR" sign with a big arrow. Just in-case I run into any "Liberal Fools" in LV, NV.
When the party is over, pound their heads into the concrete . We are such a violent people so they say so let's show these scumbags .
ReplyDeleteOutstanding. Can't wait to meet a few of them in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding presentation, Nick.
Babs... That's exactly what Gandhi said.
ReplyDeleteRhod, my advice to them would be "Stay outa the woods".

ReplyDeleteThe only Marxists that would turn up for a tea party would be followers of Groucho!

ReplyDeleteTres... This blog forbids such tasteless sarcasm.
