yes misty and not only is it cliched and repetitive but mostly the logic is faulty as well. Sometimes the nuances that make those arguments faulty are very subtle and therefore I feel the response requires some detailed and thought provoking explanation. In the last few days I have been thinking about often misused argument of appeasement. I think I could write an essay on the difference between appeasement and reconciliation. Chamberlain approached the problem of Hitler with an attitude of appeasement but Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela all ultimately met their opposition and overcame it with a spirit of reconciliation. In my opinion these three are the greatest political civil rights activists of the 20th century and they were opposed to achieving their goals through violence.
