[extropy-chat] Why I am No Longer a Libertarian Either...

[Robert Lindauer]

Some people can't take a joke... relax!

On the other hand... people would probably be a lot more polite if they 
knew everyone else had a nuke in their pocket.

If you need a LITERAL point - I have "doubts" about guns as should 
anyone who realizes what they're for and that Farrakhan and Lorrey 
might have some.  Run for the hills!  But... certainly every person 
ought to be able to defend themselves against threats they might 
encounter, that's just wise.  Deterrence, I've found, is much better 
than actually fighting, and since weapons tend to be the only deterrent 
that some people understand, having some on hand is a good idea.  I'm 
not sure a nuke is the appropriate choice, and for me and my little 
family  a coupla shotguns are sufficient.
