> Lately there have been some dissidents protesting our retaliation for
the September 11th terrorist attack on the United States. These people
have been marching peacefully protesting our government's actions. If
you meet one of these people you should pursue the following course of
action.
> 
> 1).   Approach them politely.
> 
> 2).   Ask them what they are protesting. You already know but they
need to say it aloud.
> 
> 3).   Ask them why they are protesting. They will say that we should
turn the other cheek and try to understand the reasoning behind the
attack.
> 
> 4).   Ask them to clarify:   they will tell you that violence begets
more violence.
> 
> 5).   Haul off and hit the protester square in the face.
> 
> 6).  When he gets up he will be pretty angry and may want to fight
back.
> 
> 7).  Placate him by telling him, violence begets more violence.  Give
him a few minutes to calm down as you assure him that striking back is
useless and unnecessary.
> 
> 8).  When he nods his understanding, hit him again.  This time even
harder, followed by a swift kick to the balls.
> 
> 9).  Again he may be angry and again you must tell him violence begets
more violence.
> 
> 10).   Repeat steps 5 through 9 until he understands the virtue in
retaliation.
