If you happen upon a Peace Rally:

1)  Approach ignorant person talking about peace and saying
there should be "no retaliation."

2)  Have a brief conversation with them and ask if military
force is appropriate.

3)  When he says, "No." ask him, "Why not?"

4)  When he says, "Because that would just cause more
innocent deaths, which would be awful, and we should not
cause more violence."

5)  Punch him in the face . . . hard.

6)  When he gets up to punch you, point out to him that it
would be a mistake (and contrary to his values) to punch you
because he would be causing more violence.

7)  When he agrees with you that he has pledged not to
commit violence, punch him in the face again . . . only
harder this time.

8)  Repeat steps 2 through 7 until he understands that
sometimes it is necessary to punch back.
