How do you tell the difference between Liberals, Conservatives and
> Southerners? Pose the following question:
>
> You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
> children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
> around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises
the
> knife, and charges.
>
> You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have
mere
> seconds before he reaches you and your family.
>
> What do you do?
>
>
>
> Liberal Answer:
>
> Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
>
> Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him
> that would inspire him to attack?
>
> Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?
> Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
> his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the
Glock
> have an appropriate safety built into it?
>
> Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does
> this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be
happy
> with killing just me?
>
> Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to
wound
> me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away
> while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1?
>
> Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint
> and weed day, and make this a happier, healthier street that would
> discourage such behavior.
>
> This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends
for a
> few days and try to come to a consensus.
