New Re: Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers
I know you're a flaming pacifist (well, sorry, that's how your messages come over) but surely even you realize the best defense is a strong offense. You can't negotiate with some people. And if you sit and just take it, you will get more of it.

Blessed are the peacemakers, who squash like a bug those who will not make peace.
Who knows how empty the sky is
In the place of a fallen tower.
Who knows how quiet it is in the home
Where a son has not returned.

-- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)
