There was not one thing uncivil about KLP's questions.

I appreciate your candor, Mary. I certainly wasn't trying to raise your hackles. Instead, I would hope that all of us think about that, and how we really feel about things. It is easy to say something, and how others should act, but it is not always so easy to actually do as you think you should. Sounds like you have been relatively sheltered, as far as being confronted with this (or other distressing) situation/s. Me too. One of the things I've wondered is what I would actually do if an armed robber came into the house while I was alone. If necessary, would I really use a kitchen knife if one were available and I could get to it? Would I try to go find the gun, and the bullets...(They are here someplace, but hidden out of the way of children.) Or would I try to run, or would I faint? What if someone was trying to abduct one of my grandkids, and I saw them trying.... This is much easier for me to answer because the very thought makes me VERY angry and upset. I would scream very loud, look for stones to throw, and actually do that, call 911 at the same time (all the while yelling), get the license and model of the car, and run to the nearest house if he/she drove off with the child...
