4. To paraphrase someone,
"I may not agree with a word you say, but I will shoot anyone who tries to take away your right to say it".

I guess that's a yes.

7. Force you to be nice to each other, kill you before you kill each other.
Violent Pacification!

10. 'I am a violent man who is trying hard to be non-violent.'
Cesar Chavez said that. Is that what you mean by violent pacifism, or is it more of a Billy Jack thing. "When Jean and the kids at the camp tell me I need to be more of a pacifist. I try, Bernard, I really try. But when I see this boy, that I love like a brother, sprawled out by this big ape here. And this person, with a soul so beautiful - so degraded. And this little one, who is so special to us that we called her 'god's little gift of sunshine'. When I think of the number of years that she is going to have to carry around in her memory, the savagery, of this idiotic little moment of yours. I! Just! Go! BERSERK!!"
