I would never accuse you of not striving to inflict change. I'm sorry that you read that into my comment. I was just agreeing with your thoughts, and stating that many people resist such ideas regardless of the evidence, as it makes them very uncomfortable. Sort of like the blue and red pill in the matrix, most people would rather believe a comfortable lie, than except a world changing truth.

I also hope for a quiet revolution, not through forcing people to accept things, but rather to give them permission to question those who have lied to us countless times. I hope to unshackle a few minds through gentleness, not coercion. That being said I do recognize the value of violence, but only when used in defense of yourself or another, whenever possible I have and would much rather use words and psychological means to dissuade a would be assailant. Unfortunately that is not possible 100% of the time, although thankfully for me it has and I'm very thankful for not having to shed the blood of another. I pray that it stays that way.
