The naive, wishful, liberal bumper sticker reads: "Live peacefully."
It is a noble sentiment without much relevance. In a world where evil exists, and thugs use force and chicanery to offend and oppress the little and decent, honest citizens.
All need to be resolved, brave, armed, trained to fight, and feisty to stop bullies, dictators, invaders and criminals from imposing their evil will on the public.
If one is too warlike, there will be no peace. If one is a pacifist, and totally peaceful and nonviolent, one invites predictable attack from evil neighbors and criminals.
To live too peacefully is to invite war being visited upon oneself.
