Where, in the scheme of things defensive, do such spray products as
Mace and CapStun belong?
A. Nowhere! If you just show your attacker compassion and
understanding, you won't need nasty things like that.
B. At the lower-threat levels of the Use of Force Continuum.
C. In the medicine cabinet; real women use mace instead of Feminique.
You are cornered in your home by a knife-wielding intruder. he
ignores your command to halt, and charges you with the knife upraised.
How many shots should you fire?
A. None. It would be better to die than sacrifice moral victory by
using "his" kind of force.
B. As many shots as are necessary to stop the attack.
C. A minimum of fifty shots. Hey, when is the next time you'll get a
chance like this to express yourself, and get in touch with your
feelings?
Grading the Exam
If 8 or more (80 %) of your answers were "A," it is time to check into
a Reality Clinic. Perhaps the meek will inherit the earth, but only
when the rest of us are done with it.
If 8 or more of your answers were "B," welcome to the land of the
well-adjusted adults who manage their own responsibilities with an
appropriate level of power.
If 8 or more of your answers were "C," don't feel too bad. Society
may not have a place for you, but Hollywood will, as soon as they
start casting for the lead role in _Bride_of_Rambo_.
