Letter "B" » brutalize
«When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous--a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn't be here.

Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it--at which point they can become human too»
