It would be better if people were allowed to fend for themselves, and to
defend themselves according to their rights, and to the dictate of their
conscience, but since people are not even allowed to talk about it, I
would not wait up for the situation to get any better. <sarcasm on>After
all, its always better to get killed and then have someone call the cops,
than it is to defend yourself. Let's give away all of our freedoms to the
government and the criminals. That is where we are going, and the attitude
that prevails here is not helping us one bit. <sarcasm off>

I think the policy is the choice of the moderator, and so as I have said,
I respect that, but the hostile attitude that  so many have for those who
wish to defend themselves, and to excercise a right to do so, really
stinks. A lot of folks have a lot of growing up to do before there is any
chance of individual freedom returning any time soon.

Look at the subject line. Its going to keep happening until people stand
up for themselves. Surely no one thinks that passive resistance is going
make criminals think twice. How pathetic is that?
