The way we go about the journey matters, because in the end it all adds up to consequences of salvation or damnation, prosperity or ruin, peace or war.  

Aggression, abuse, coercion and force may win out in the short run, but in the long run abuse and terrorism is no way to run a country or a business. 

Why?

Because aggression/oppression does not foster inspiration and innovation.  

The more oppressive and abusive a nation, the more static and rigid, the poorer the people and country.  

The more corrupt a nation, the more fear and cowardice rule.  

Soon all will be threatened not just by hypocrisy, but by the bad practices that make anything great improbable and unattainable in acts of abuse and destruction.  

Bad precedents will be the harm that our children will have to live by which is why we must not give in to our worse impulses and strive to have integrity and best practices in all we do.  

We must do what we can to ensure the safety of law enforcement officers as well as the foundation of law, the Constitution and public servants that help to make our country free, strong and prosperous.  

Corruption and abuses in abuse of power, sedition and terrorism should not go unchecked and threats go unheeded.

We must take seriously the way we conduct ourselves and the way we do things as our actions are reflections of who we are.  

Are we terrorists or traitors?  

Since we are not terrorists, we should not behave as if acts of terrorism, acts of cruel and unusual treatments, acts of indecent abuse and acts of treason are acceptable in any form.
