Not so much "violence is bad"--that's meaningless. Violence is a bad idea. It's impractical. It increases the volatility of any situation in ways that we can't control. If it's obvious to you, great! Meanwhile, people are getting into screaming matches, destroying their own homes and belongings, hobbling themselves with criminal records, and going to war. A substantial portion of my country demands that their commander in chief be willing to drop a nuclear bomb.

So just maybe it's worth discussing the nature of violence, and its consequences.
