here's another example:
a marine puts a gun to your head and says "give me your gun, or die". what do you do? (keep in mind, both portions of that quote defy the constitution and are felonies, but it's what obama wants to happen)
option 1) you refuse, he shoots you dead on the spot, and still gets your gun. who is just? you are, the marine is not.
option 2) you give him your gun, he walks away, you survive. who is just? neither of you.
but you see, the problem is that there are not only 2 options, there are an infinite number of other possible options. like say:
option 3) an army sniper is hiding in the bushes a couple hundred yards away. he loves his family, and fights for those he cares about as well as for those who care about him (which could be anyone, family or not). the sniper sees you as someone who genuinely wants to do the right/legal/just thing, knowing you are an innocent citizen with loved ones of your own, and that you have weapons for rightfully defending those loved ones, weapons of your choice, without limitations. the sniper puts a .50cal through the marine's head, the marine never even hears the shot and drops like a brick. who is just? definitely the army sniper, the marine is not. meanwhile, you shed a tear and give the army sniper a very obvious "thank you" expression. you now continue living, faith in humanity restored. the army sniper goes on living knowing he acted on his just opinions, saved a life, was shown gratitude, and now has 1 more reason to add to the many to continue fighting for those less capable. again, faith in humanity restored on so many levels.
option 4) same as option 3, but that sniper could be anyone; your wife, your son, your grandmother, a total stranger, even an ex who hates you but doesnt want to see you die.
option 5) you have a gun, you attempt to shoot the marine to defend your own life. maybe you fail, maybe you succeed. but either way, YOU are just, and the marine is not
now take all of the above and completely remove all context. a person in power is giving another person a choice between two options. human nature tends to lean towards listening to the two choices, and obeying/choosing one or the other. that is a perfect example of a follower. ever heard the term "think outside the box"? prime example: there are ALWAYS more options than what is initially stated. we are not robots with specific programming (at least not yet, but we will be close enough to this if we continue to let our government control us), we are humans, capable of thought. consider all other possible options, and reasoning to choose any of the given/ungiven options. people need to stop listening to only the options our government "leaders" and media suggest, and come up with their own ideas and act on them. sometimes our own ideas will be similar to the ones originally put forth, sometimes not. but the key is to think of all possible options, not just the ones initially stated to us
