I quoted Andy Rooney’s comments on Veteran’s Day:
There is more bravery at war than in peace, and it seems wrong that we have so often saved this virtue to use for our least noble activity — war.
Via Crooks and Liars: A 15-year-old named Ava Lowery has a website called Peace Takes Courage. And it does. After she posted this video, called What Would Jesus Do (go watch it!), she started getting hate mail (warning: strong language) and ominously threatening emails. One of the cleaner messages:
You are a TRAITOR to your country and should be executed for treason.
Nice, huh?
I used to believe that we should listen to and respect every person’s opinion. But when you’re trying to bully and intimidate a fifteen-year-old girl just for speaking out against injustice, I suspect even Jesus might lose patience with you.
