"There are some facts missing here. What did these citizens intend to do with this Lysol?" They were and intended to DRINK it. They were probably in their fiftys and sixtys. They had lived out their suffering as Native Canadians. They had CHOSEN what values they had left to live for. They did not owe sweet p-ss all to the STATE. They were their own meaning and their own reward. The lysol was their PRIVATE property--bought and paid for. When the State starts using FORCE to impose values...we might as well just crawl into the woods and die. This is why my argument about guns was NOT against owning them. It was about recognizing that society has a LEGITIMATE interest in the regulation of weapons and their use. Not a profound concept...
