I accept that in a free society you have to justify reductions in people's liberties. I accept that, bearing in mind my starting point is that the most important human right is the right to life.

Young people are at risk of being disinherited from their community if that community lacks the courage and confidence to teach its history.

Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated.

If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.

It's too much to expect in an academic setting that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility.

I'm all for it. In these days, regional marketing is the only way to survive.
