I am not sure if Zendo Deb meant to do this or not but she provides a great juxtaposition of how Britain and the U.S differ when it comes to self protection.
First we have Brits may get right to fight back followed by Oklahoma defends right to Keep and Bear Arms. In the first example the question is whether British citizens should be allowed to defend themselves against intruders. The fact that this question has to be debated at all is mind blowing enough. However when you consider that previous legislation was defeated because the Attorney General argued that burglars have rights also, you really have to question whether the end of Western Civilization has already begun. In the second example the Oklahoma legislature signed into law a bill that would prohibit cooperations from limiting an employee's right to self protection (in America). Maybe there is hope for Western Civilization after all.
