#1 You may bank on it.

Goodness in heavy hearts coddles the child that becomes a full grown government into the greatest tyranny. It always gets it's way and growes at the expence of it's citizens and Soldiers alike.

An Uneccessary evil.

#2 Somehow, the "Work harder for those who hardly work" idea doesn't appeal to me.

#3 Unlike South Africa, the civilized are the vast majority in this country, even yet, not a minority holding onto power by force. In addition to being the majority, a great many of the civilized are well-armed, not a situation they will give up willingly. Finally, if the Koreans in Los Angeles are any example, riots that leave their urban ghetto homes are highly likely to be met by an organized and armed force of residents willing to shoot to kill if necessary. The French experience shows nothing kills the impulse to riot, rapine, and pillaging like a wiff of grapeshot with more to come. I recall OldSpook once advising that the first round to come out of a shotgun ought to be something like rock salt, which is attention-getting but generally not fatal, followed by a second round that is distinctly fatal... although it's quite possible I misunderstood him, as shotguns are distinctly outside my area of expertise.

#4 TW, shotguns are not that hard... you should try one.
