I own a Hunting Rifle for home defense, since that's what Boone intended. Four Legionarys break into my Novac motel room. I shouted "My wifes dead" as I grab my 1st Recon beret and Hunting Rifle, and blow a golf ball sized hole through the first Legionary, he's dead on the spot. Draw my 10mm Pistol on the second Legionary, miss him entirely because it's almost broken and nails the Legionarys mongrel. I have to resort to the Anti Materiel Rifle mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with .50 MG explosive rounds, "The last thing you never see" I shout as the explosive round shreds two of the Legionarys in the blast, pull out my combat knife and charge the last terrified Legionary. He Bleeds out waiting on a Centurion to arrive since broken limbs are impossible to fix without a Doctors bag or Super Stimpak.. Just as Boone intended!

This begs that old question, what with all the tension going around the world.

Who of us would have no qualms taking someone's life?

And who of us would likely get murdered in this kill or be killed world?

The British television program about U.K. cops called 'New Tricks' features an interesting case in which two politicians are arguing while standing next to a pointy pile of concrete rocks while outside (by accident).

One guy is pretty angry and pushes the other dude in a pretty normal fashion. The victim falls onto the pointy concrete and then gets a hard wound to the head that kills him in a matter of seconds. Naturally, the other politician is confused as all hell. And horrified.

While fiction, this does illustrate two facts about humanity:

>1. Human bodies are fragile and ending a life can happen tragically easy, without intent.

>2. Regular outside environments that you walk around in and that you wouldn't think of as being bad, evil, or scary can still pose serious risks.

What do you think?

Every goddamn time I scroll down this board this post catches my eye and I have to pause for a sec. This has been happening for three days straight so even though I have nothing to say in response I feel like I have to respond so that my eyes stop snagging on it.

I suppose I should be even more clear that I'm trying to make the point that human health (and life itself) is a delicate, fragile thing that we should both value a lot and also be understanding about given risks.

Like roses. Tulips. Carnations. That sort of thing. That all make sense?
