Editor’s Note: this article, by DGR member Will Falk, is one of the best pieces of writing I’ve read in a long while. Please, take the time to read this article and share it with your friends. Thank you. - Max W (DGR Seattle) By William Falk / Deep Green Resistance San Diego It is long past time we honestly assessed our capacity for violence.
