© Copyright Michael KAY 1997.The question is, "A man has broken into your house and is threatening to kill you. Your wife and kids are home but are asleep and unaware. What are you going to do?"
(A) If attacked, I prefer to be defenseless and leave my wife and kids likewise.
(B) If attacked, I prefer to run away and leave my wife and kids to be attacked.
(C) If attacked, I prefer to call 000 and let the professionals handle the situation even though average police response time is much more than 5 minutes.
(D) If attacked, I prefer to sacrifice myself and my family to uphold my belief that all life is sacred and taking another human life is wrong.
(E) If attacked, I prefer to explain my pacifist philosophy of non-violence to my attacker in the hopes that a logical argument will dissuade him from such folly.
(F) If attacked, I prefer to defend myself and my family with a kitchen knife, although it takes skill to use and statistics show it to be an ineffective defense (particularly against a firearm).
(G) If attacked, I prefer to defend myself and my family with a gun, which statistics show to be an effective defense.
(H) Guns scare me. What was the question again?
(I) I DONT KNOW?
(J) I DONT CARE?

Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it.The history of Liberty is a history of resistance. The history of Liberty is a history of limitations of Governmental power, NOT the increase of it.
