Hi Dias,

I wanted to respond to your post, although perhaps it would have been better had I not.

You see, while I don't like or condon violence, there is a time and place for everything. It's one thing to go looking for trouble (I've never understood people that did) for we have enough trouble in our lives without adding to it.

I've always been a big fan of the old west. For all of it's hardships - there is one thing I've always liked about it. While not everyone was armed, for the most part, if someone had trouble it was expected they would handle it. Therefore one didn't get in anothers face and get smart with them, or flip someone a finger, or show ill manners towards another (at least not like they do in this day and time) because if they did so, it would be more than likely they would be shot.

Now please don't get me wrong - I'm NOT telling you that you should ever shoot anyone. What I am saying, is that if this person is bothering you (this little peesqueak), then you need to do something about it. If you're not comfortable with turning him in - then kick his ***! Educate him - You can bet I would.

Your friend Sam (who never looks for trouble, but deals with it fast)
