The actions of a small few at the port in Olympia are disturbing. It is far too late in their emotional development to think my thoughts will alter their opinions and subsequently their actions. I cannot, for any reason, condone the obstruction of military traffic, placing innocent children in the path of loaded trucks, breaking bank and police car windows, inujuring police officers or pouring cement on railroad tracks. The actions of these diissenters poses as an insult to those of the southern states during the 60's who had real and personal mistreatment and real cause to quietly change American society and policy. Similar to the destructive and ineffective Watt's rioters several years later - the Olympia protestors have damaged their cause. The real focus of my comments are toward those who have taught and influenced those who choose violence and incivility in an effort to forward their cause. These protests will accomplish no positive outcome. Resisting any and all authority with any and all means and with no concern for those they may harm along the way. Parents, mentors, City counselors and Evergreen CC educators bare responsibility for any harm or destruction coming from these actions. While many may identify with your cause, paultry few will support your means or teachings. Please grow up and 'move-on' from the 60's. |
