Would you kill a man if he tried to steal your car? Do you value
your pick-up over a man's life? Even if he is a ****?


in a minute. If he is stealing my truck, that I use to make my living

with,
that might have the tools I use to make a living with, and is my only

means to
get to work, then he is no more to me than a vermin to be delt with. If

the the
criminals knew that the sentence for stealing a car was death or life in
prison, they might think otherwise. There is a reason they used to hang

horse
thieves. A horse was a familys mean of survival, to plow the fields, to go

into
town to get supplies, to hunt with. Today the car has replaced the horse.


When I read this, my jaw just hit the desk. You are advocating the concept
that a life is worth less that a few material goods. Don't you have third
party insurance in the US? I don't mean to be rude, but drawing a comparison
to 18th century policy just makes you look even more out of the dark ages.
Someone tell me - this isn't the genuine feeling amongst all Americans?!
