"...offering the burglar a single teaspoon of one's silverware would not be a compromise but a total surrender - the recognition of his right to one's property." - Ayn Rand
"There can be no compromise between a property owner and a burglar; offering the burglar a single teaspoon of one's silverware would not be a compromise but a total surrender - the recognition of his right to one's property." - Ayn Rand
Others may, and rightly so, recall in this society the citizen has no rights - by their own choice their life is worth not less but worthless as a result of that choice.
As a police officer or a soldier I could never equate their disregard of their own life with their expectation I should risk mine....for nothing..
