The Pursuit of Happiness Silly Talking by Walter E. Williams Let's talk about absolutely ridiculous pronouncements people make that either ignore simple fact or border on insanity.
Evidence suggests that violence is a very effective way of settling things.
Let's look at a few examples. In 1776, violence settled whether the 13 colonies would be independent or remain under King George's thumb. In 1865, violence settled whether there'd be a Confederacy and a Union or just a Union. Between 1941 and 1945, violence settled whether Japan would control the Far East and whether Germany would control Europe. Violence settled whether American Indians owned and controlled the land now called United States or whether it would be European settlers and their progeny.
