People that act without sufficient forethought can, and usually are, just as bad as people that act with ill-intent. I understand that you're ideological; I understand that you're passionate. I just think that, were you to actually put any of your rhetoric into action, you'd be going off half-cocked, fuck things up, kill a lot of people that don't need to be killed, and end up in a quagmire of shit having accomplished nothing tangible.
