[Hara Ra]

Years ago I was mugged. Though caught by surprise and temporarily blind in 
one eye, and I didn't fall, I had to walk past him to get away. Which I 
did, my utter fearlessness I think got to the bastard.

I have a deep temper, rarely fully expressed. If I had a gun, I would 
probably use it in an way which limits my freedom.

If I ever am mugged again, then I will pack iron, join the local gun club 
and stay in practice, take the required confrontation courses and if needs 
be, be truly deadly. However, I think, perhaps stupidly, that prevention is 
a better cure, so I keep my animal and (extropians or not) my 'psychic' 
senses (use 'intuitive' if you must) always alert in any situation of any 
possible danger.

Bayes or not, it seems to work. But I haven't seen any tigers either.
