EMT 07/09/22 - Why the Gun is Civilization.
Written maybe a decade ago - the original post seems to be lost in time, but it's always a good time to recall the concise words from Marco Kloos (pronounced "close") on why the 2nd amendment is so fundamental to the preservation of our civilized society.
- By Marko Kloos Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender. There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat – it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly. Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weightlifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable. When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation … and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

Willowed: Wolfus, about your kitty. My SIL got a new one 2 years ago. She, the kitty, loved to be naughty and especially bitey.
My wife Gurgled a few sites on the intertubes about info on how mother cats teach their kids and what you can do.
Worked great. We think that even though she was weaned, she had not been with the mother and siblings long enough to learn proper behavior.

Bruce, I think that's pretty much the deal with Stirling, except that he was with his siblings at the shelter all along. But apparently Mom Cat died fairly early. She certainly taught him about hunting behavior, and he's not rough or inclined to bite. It's just this "I want milk, Mom!" behavior. I'll do some research.

I went to the 25th and realized I only knew about 5 people in the room. We had a class of about 400.
I saw the FB pictures of a 40th that someone threw together and luckily the had some names with the pics, else I wouldn't know who some of them were.
I think I'll skip it. Especially since the Saturday dinner is listed as "Cocktail Attire".
I don't drink cocktails. I drink beer. What would I wear to that?

Exactly what I was thinking. I looked it up online and found cocktail attire is sport coat with a colored/patterned shirt. And pants that don't match.

He played one of the few characters in A Bridge Too Far that was not a commissioned officer. His role was anti-heroic in that movie.
I read that he took five years off to be a full time father.

Apparently, if an individual is approached by a bat wielding person on public streets it is a clear case of self defense to whip out your illegal handgun, and instead of retreating in any of the directions available to you, simply cap the bat holder's ass right then and there. And once you do this, there are many who will declare this as a clear case of self defense, and a good shoot.
So glad to see so many Baltimorons suddenly embracing the concept of carrying for self defense.
It's a real change from 'Guns are evil, and should be destroyed'.

One of the local High Schools had their 50th reunion on the Harbor Dinner Cruise the other week.
One very nice touch that I had never seen before was each reunion attendee had a name badge provided. With their Class graduation picture on it.

But when it is *multiple attackers*, the importance of the size of your magazines becomes important.
And an octogenarian ain't gonna be all that accurate neither.
Now for the main thrust, quoting Heinlein:
An armed society is a polite society.
Interestingly, using DDG for that sentence, the first 4-5 'hits' are attempts to debunk Heinlein's argument. Including the first hit piece by Psychology Today.
To which I say "Fuck off." You can quote me, PT.

In addition to the foregoing, Twitter is in breach of the Merger Agreement because the Merger Agreement appears to contain materially inaccurate representations. Specifically, in the Merger Agreement, Twitter represented that no documents that Twitter filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission since January 1, 2022, included any “untrue statement of a material fact” (Section 4.6(a)). Twitter has repeatedly made statements in such filings regarding the portion of its mDAUs that are false or spam, including statements that: “We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the average of false or spam accounts during the first quarter of 2022 represented fewer than 5% of our mDAU during the quarter,

Hunter also mocks Jill and says she'd never last a day in an Ivy League school (like the one Hunter went to). Curiously, Hunter never stops to ponder why, if he's so damn smart, he's never held a real job in his life, and has spent his entire sordid existence grifting off his famous father's name.
It was likely Hunter's last name that got him admitted to Yale Law in the first place, and he certainly never did anything with the degree he received. His entire career has consisted of nothing more than selling access to dear old dad's influence and (illegal) favors. If Hunter is so damn smart and sophisticated, then why didn't he use his intelligence to achieve something on his own, rather than becoming a drugged-up, whore-mongering, sleazy crook who has to rely on daddy to make his illegal living?

Not exactly the same thing, but Mama Dog teaching the younguns is why a "choke" chain works so well in certain aspects of training dogs.
It simulates Mom giving the kiddo a quick nip on the neck to correct its behavior. The "choke" chain doesn't hurt the dog at all if used properly.
Similar results can be achieved by giving the pup/dog a quick pinch on the back of the neck.

Sure I would. Because my daddy is not Joe Biden. Hunter got paid millions because of who his father is, not because Hunter is smart. If Hunter was actually smart, he would have taken those ill-gotten millions and invested them in something lucrative and made himself a billionaire. But no, genius Hunter decided instead to piss away his grift money on drugs and hookers and strippers.

This is why 'bots exist. Because the true number of rabble is low single digit. Most people are too involved in their own lives to waste on shouting down judges and making asses of them selves.
Twitter needed to create a perception of 51% or greater.
There was some historical observations about percentages of Muslims in a community to be able to completely turn it around and have it observe sharia. Wasn't much. Even the American Revolution had a small minority fed up with England and went up against a population just as large or larger who were Tories and didn't mind the King. Yet the majority didn't care.

I imagine a similar dynamic is at work when you pick up a cat by the loose skin behind the neck. That's how mommy kittehs move them around.
My dad showed my how to calm a cat by doing that - you don't even have to pick them up, the sensation is very familiar to them. Some will just go limp.

If traveling up I-95, and taking 395 into the downtown area, he would be going through that EXAXT intersection while traveling to the aquarium.
Bring up google maps, and type in 'Light st and Conway' and it will take you right to the intersection. Then take note of where the aquarium is.

Once that line is crossed, it cannot be uncrossed and normal people understand on a visceral level that this is not to be done lightly.
