william t vollmann attends a demonstration to shut down/prevent the opening of a nuclear plant as a young man. he and the others obliviously fail and get run off by the national guard, he wonders what there objective should have been and if they were so sure nuclear power was so dangerous and it was going to cause lets say ten thousand deaths would it have been justifiable to be violent and lets say kill nine thousand people. should they of pull a 9/11 to crash a jet into the reactor to prevent it from being built. is it possible for there to be a moral calculus for violence? this was something he could not answer right away and took the next 20 years to examine. lads what are your thoughts on the moral calculus?
