An armed society is a 'Polite' society. By me, Shootie. You know, It makes me wanna shout! But I won't. Cause I'm armed. I don't have to shout. I just have to glare and smile. Everybody quiets down and peace resumes. If everybody was armed we would all be smiling cause we would be afraid not to. Let's think about this a little. Animals don't need to be armed. They have teeth and claws. Their weapon system is built in. You don't see them killing each other for sport or food or drugs or over a wimmin. At least they don't do it within their own species. Nope, they kill smaller, less well armed, perhaps slower and weaker animals. Still, they don't kill for pleasure. They kill for reason. Humans kill because they think they can get away with it. Face it, how many times in your life, if the law permitted, would you have come close to killing somebody? How many time would you have succeeded? This is the problem. God, Screwed up. He built the humans wrong. Now, before we get into this, if you have a God problem, please substitute whatever is necessary for this to flow properly for you. Ok? So, why do dogs and alligators and leopards have enough sharp teeth to rip your ass off in one quick move? The answer is because they will eat your ass if they go through the trouble of ripping it off. Yep, that's how they survive. Instinctively they will eat you. There is no hidden agenda here, you are food to them. Now, God looked at the human and said, less teeth, more brains. Humans can grow food or make tools to kill animals with and they will survive. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! -1 point for God. He forgot that some of these tools could be used to kill humans with, too. And of course humans don't eat humans so the killing would be for sport or theft, or drugs or wimmin. Let's think about if God would have made us a bit different. Let's say instead of a left hand, we had a Mourning Star. That's one of those Medieval skull crushers that looks like a magic 8 ball on a chain with little spike all over it. If every body had one, several things would change in life. Instead of looking at the computer nerd in the bar and thinking, I'm gonna kick his ass, you think, he's a computer nerd, but damn that's a bad ass Mourning Star he has there and I'll bet he could accidently smash my head if I pissed him off. Or, when somebody tries to steal your wimmin, you would not say, "I'm gonna kill you over that wimmin." You would say, "take the bitch, and her sister, I see you have a Mourning Star on your left arm that could crush my head and she ain't worth it. I can find more wimmins. Let me buy you all a drink before you leave." Then you would apologize to the wimmin for calling her a bitch because she too has a Mourning Star for a left hand and she could crush your head and blame it on PMS and never spend a day in jail. In short, everybody would be polite if they had the means of taking life at their fingertips. Are not all martial artists taught self control? Yes they are, cause they can crush your head. Now, in summery, what's the difference between a Mourning Star for a left hand or a Smith and Wesson M60 5 shot .357 revolver in stainless steel? I see no difference other than EVERYBODY would have had a Mourning Star and hardly anybody has a S&W M60 5 shot .357 revolver in stainless steel. And God is not going to give us all a new gun. But if he would have in the beginning, we would have a more polite society. Shootie
