“Watching violence in movies or in TV programs stimulates the spectators to imitate what they see much more than if seen live or on TV news.

“A serious pacifist approach can't win wars against enemies whose only program is violence. That doesn't mean I think the US has fought terrorists so wisely most of the time since 9/11.

“In the nature of things, those who have no property and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them to need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property.

It looks on property as its prey and plunder, and is naturally ready, at times, for violence and revolution.” ThinkingNeedsLooksMadeLawPoliticalClassViolenceReadyRevolutionProgramPropertyProtectionNeighborPreyPlunderGovernment Programs Author:Daniel Webster
