Safe in this 7-11


A friend sent me this picture with the caption, "Why no one robs a 7-11 in Israel". A picture is worth a thousand words.
I'll bet it would work in Illinois, too!

Those are Israeli military recruits. In a military commissary.

Is this your dream? Is this what we want in our towns? Perhaps you could point out where all of this fits into the Green Party's Ten Key Values.

Social justice?
Nonviolence?
Decentralization?
Feminism?
Personal and global responsibility?

That's 5 out of 10. (OK, so I just picked the general topics...)

Peace and safety, John. If I walked into that group in a 7-11, I wouldn't feel threatened at all. Would you?

Social Justice? You clearly cannot define social justice, as it has little- or nothing- to do with firearms or the military. Other than the negative impact the guns and militarism has had on social justice issues.

Armed forces and armed individuals as a representation of nonviolence? Nice doublespeak- Goebbels would be proud.

Decentralization? You are trying to equate a national army or armed individuals with decentralization? Funny stuff.

Feminism? It's more an issue of every Israeli citizen being required to serve in the military, regardless of gender.

Personal and global responsibility? Now you are just copying and pasting words- no thought to it.

And no- I wouldn't feel threatened by that group of women in a 7-11. I would feel threatened by a scared little white man, with a fetish for traffic infraction violators, carrying a weapon in a 7-11.

As I pointed out the the McHenry County Greens when your candidacy was first discussed: Mr. Philpott, you are about as Green as Alan Keyes.
