Had a very interesting discussion

16. I agree

With your final point. And it certainly encompasses common definitions:


swift and intense force: the violence of a storm.

rough or injurious physical force, action, or treatment: to die by violence.

an unjust or unwarranted exertion of force or power, as against rights or laws: to take over a government by violence.

a violent act or proceeding.

rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language: the violence of his hatred.

I guess it just struck me as an odd approach. Not trying to hijack the thread.

I do not believe that those in charge of America will yield power without a struggle. Even the slate of candidates for office are owned by/heavily influenced by those interests. Perhaps a broad technology like the internet can produce a viable candidate from outside of the network of current politics. But permit me my scepticism.
