Common cause

There is a lesson to be learned from Virginia Tech and, by comparison, from the Appalachian Law School.

There is a lesson to be learned from United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

I could find other examples.  The Warsaw ghetto, for example.  But the point would be the same.  They all teach the same lesson.

That lesson is quite simple, and can be stated in two words:

FIGHT BACK.

If you refuse to fight back, you are betting your future, your life, and everything else you have to lose, on the goodwill of your attacker.  Where is the possible logic in trusting to the goodwill of someone who has just viciously attacked you without provocation?

and yet there are still morons out there (thank you, british press), that STILL push this 'if you dont fight back you'll have a much better chance of survival' bullshit.

Let the fucking go to the wolves, I swear. the sheepdog's bark offends their ears I hear, a torment much worse than being wolf food.
