I love the quest/discussion to find peaceful peaceful responses to even murder. Great points have been made already! I just want add, I think in order for humanity to be ready to handle that type of offense in a healthy/life-promoting way we must learn and practice these principles in even the most mundane of offenses. Things from being cut off on the highway to someone going off on you for a difference of opinion. I think it is (in some ways) easier to come up with extreme ideas then it is to be introspective enough to discover our own person weak spots in our peaceful communication.
