A NATION OF COWARDS by Jeffrey R. Snyder

Hi All. The following article LINK is quite lengthy but a VERY good read. I hope that it's informative and enlightening to all. I would like to hear some feedback...be it PRO or CON. Enjoy ! http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...HMguwz&usg=AFQjCNFN_d3ytLn4ODrGYq1t6csCq4CGbQ

I enjoyed it when I first read it about five years ago. Lotsa food for thought.

I swear I read a version where he said it was immoral to rely on others (police) to risk their lives defending your own. But, I haven't been able to find it the last couple times I went looking for it. If anybody knows where I can find it on-line, please pass along a link. Until then, I'll just assume I'm misremembering something.

Walter Mitty's Second Amendment

The same author, Jeff Snyder, wrote another essay, Walter Mitty's Second Amendment. Very good reading.

It helps to know first who Walter Mitty was, or more precisely, what the name has come to mean.

I didn't read it yet, but I agree with the headline... Been my assertion for a very long time.

OK, I just read it. I fear it is written too well for the average American to comprehend the meaning...

excellent read. Re-posting to other corners of the web!

Power And Responsibility

"Is your life worth protecting? If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it? If you believe that it is the police's, not only are you wrong -- since the courts universally rule that they have no legal obligation to do so but you face some difficult moral quandaries. How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself? Because that is his job and we pay him to do it? Because your life is of incalculable value, but his is only worth the $30,000 salary we pay him? If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?"

Thanks!

Country has been going down hill since the ideal man is someone who has no chest hair and looks like a skinny model. Women try to look like little girls instead of enjoying their age and anyone who owns a gun is looked at like a terrorist.
