The attack-counterattack approach seems to me to be naive. It is possible to approach that kind of thing very differently, and in so doing, in various ways defuse bombs, challenge the Truth and History, etc. There is something so pointless, even hopeless in this kind of reactivity, it seems to me. Perhaps this is the "nonviolent activist" in me talking, but then again, that's a nonviolent activist who is concerned with things like teaching, and one who is ready, willing and able to do extended Nietzschean readings of Gandhi...go figure...
