Conversations with Nana

Part I (March 2008)

A well-placed fist is not murder if in self-defense

But a blade is quicker than the hand.

A gun is more effective than a knife.

A bomb thrown from a distance Is easier on the conscience.

And from a plane,

mental damage to the bomber Is negligible.

There are always exceptions to The Rule.

Protect yourselves at all costs!

Part 2 (June 2008)

Thou Shalt not Kill

the spirit,

ridicule others,

tear them down,

trick them,

manipulate them,

bend them to your will.

Thou shalt not think thou art better than anyone,

Or higher, or more loved.

Nor shalt thou

humiliate,

subjugate,

degrade

or destroy.

Is that clear enough?
