It amazed me when I was a boy to see a neighbour's cat chase a large dog down their path and off the property. Normally, she'd have run for it. But she had kittens. The dog was just looking for some fun. A face full of scratching and biting fear and fury, wasn't worth it, especially as he was trespassing and knew it wasn't his territory. She was in a do or die situation. I have noticed in myself that if something suddenly happened and my wife and children were around, my instincts were to go to attack. Women go for gather and retreat. It's not a matter of thinking, it's simply reaction time process. Watch wild chimps - the young males go racing to the front to attack. The alpha male hangs back to supervise proceedings. The females and babies run for the rear. There's a lot of instinct built into human response. In armies, it seems silly to put women in the force. They might be able to technically hold and fire a gun and maybe even read a map [.... oh Mq you kidder....] but they have no instinct for it. I recall a photo of some USA soldiers in action including a woman who was supposedly doing the same as the men. The men were front facing in aggression and she was cringing and flinching. Of course. Even one surviving male can repopulate a tribe of women. Men are disposable [compared with women] - in the numbers game of red in tooth and claw evolutionary tribal genocidal conquest. It's different now of course. That's why the male who left Africa and populated the rest of the world was alive only about 25,000 years ago but the equivalent woman was about 90,000 years ago - the males died off 3:1 in wars and risky conflict with the natural world while women hid in the caves. As you say, taking on the police and government is not for the faint-hearted. To do so means being ready to lead a civil war, which is not going to lead to a good outcome for common criminals and some woolly-minded 99%er demonstrators. I like Wall Street and don't want people blocking the street. I hope the police move them out of the way. I took our daughter in 1999 to see the area, the bull statue and the Twin Towers [which I had first visited in 1977]. It's annoying to have barbarians fell the Twin Towers and Occupy Wall Street.
