Battlefield...

Every now and again, this forum receives feedback under the comments section that for all intents and purposes would be classified as hate mail. The following is a short sample of what these posts entail.

“We will destroy the PC whores and dance in the blood of the diseased pigs you call your children.”

“I will be so damn glad when this country collapses in a civil war - your type will be so many bones to bury.”

“This country will be cleansed from sensitive, inclusive, entitlement pigs.”

“Bring on the nukes and let the purging of the weak and helpless commence.”

These comments are deleted when spotted, not out of fear, but because the author never attaches a name to his/her thoughts. This forum is a rostrum for open opinion and free discussion, not dangerous commentary hidden behind the safety of anonymity (which coincidentally enough, is exactly what terrorists do).

Still, regardless of whether or not these beliefs are serious or satire, they are based upon a reality in our world that displays the divide amongst the individuals who inhabit it. A battle is being waged between Love and Hate, and we must decide now which side we as individuals will fight for. Be careful though, because too often we forget that standing on the side of Love, requires not only defending those who cannot defend themselves, but also forgiving and loving those who attack and berate us. Hate will not win this fight. Not as long as Love does not let it.

We are one people, and our walls must be destroyed before our children can live freely. So choose your sides carefully. Our future depends on it.

We must fight and win.
