In recent weeks I've been forced to ask myself over and over again. At what point in a fight is it better to lie down and die rather than take the neccessary steps. Over and over again it is shouted that if America takes certain steps to defeat our enemies that they have one because we became the monsters they claimed we were. So I ask the question honestly, not refering to any particular event. I'm not defending torture, I'm not condoning the atomic bomb and I'm not praising the internment camps. I'm saying for each of you at what action is it that you couldn't take to protect yourself, your friends, your family, your country? At what point are we better off dead?

the problem w/ a question like this is that it asks for a yes/no, bottom-line type of answer and the truth is, i don't know that i have one. at best i can offer "the point at which the essence is gone".
the problem is that such a transition is never the result of any one action: it's the result of a series of action that in total produce that transformation, so pointing at any one spot and saying "here and no further" is tricky and almost necessarily subjectively determined by any given observer.
er...is that enough of an answer to count?

If you ask me the point is never. I don't want to be a monster but if my options are to be the worst monster ever born with my family still alive and loving me (obviously I don't want to be a prison gaurd over them.) as for it just being me I'll never lay down and die.
