One of the best anti-war dialogues I have ever seen on film. If only more people were as blunt as Garner was in that scene.

What's worse? The con artist politicians that fool the people, or the fools that follow these political con men?
Don't worry, 10-20-30 years from now... the ultra Nationalists within the DC beltway, will create another historical revisionism, with even larger bronze & granite monuments, dedicated to the middle east war heroes defending freedom at home. To the thousands that died on foreign soil and the 10s of thousands that were killed over there, but died here at home, most by their own faith. Once again, great jingoistic rhetoric as Middle East wars to the clueless indoctrinated proletariat, as those same vets are thrown crumbs or left out on the streets homeless. Go ahead, look at American history and how the Federal Government has terrorized, um, revised, to fit their power and control propaganda over the people. Civil War? World War I, II, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Soviet Union, Kosovo/Serbia/Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, etc?
PS: The world bankers and government love wars... and no one on this planet has dropped more bombs on people/planet earth than the US government. I'm sure that'll be revised somewhere down the political road of history as 'collateral damage' or whatever the whitewash words to be engraved for eternity.

Ghandi changed the world without using violence. Can we not do the same? I don't want ANYONE to get killed. Everyone who dies leaves behind broken hearts and broken lives.

We don't know. Can we not change the world without using violence? We've been trying. For years. Some of us for decades.
Can we change the world without using violence? Is it too much to ask the voters of this alleged republic to stop voting for the candidate whose name is most familiar to them--the one the corporations have bought the most commercials for--and ask them to vote for the candidate whose name is least familiar to them? Is it too much to ask the voters to realize notoriousness is nothing to vote for?
Can we change the world without using violence? Can we change the world without the powermongers going violent on us because they're enjoying robbing us blind and will get mad at us if we make them stop?
Can we get it done before anyone gets killed? Too late. SWAT teams are killing innocents weekly--if not daily.
We're going to do our mortal damndest to change the world without violence coming into it. And like the rebels at Bundy Ranch, it won't be up to us if we succeed. But we will change the world--if only because they can't sustain the crap they're doing much longer anyway...
