TR> also understand the purpose of the law. Let's look at the other

TR> he outweighs you 50 lbs., hits you again, and says want to do
TR> something about that punk?
That's when the little guy who walks silently goes and grabs his "big 
stick." :) Again, if someone is attacked their self defense should be 
of the Anything Goes area!
TR> One of the basic fundamentals of our society is the opposite of
TR> survival of the fittest. If you are the proverbial 90 lbs.
TR> weakling, you should be able to have a life in America. Protection
TR> of the weak, the young, and the elderly comes under the same
TR> argument. You shouldn't have to be the baddest guy on
I agree! I've also see the 90lb weakling hide behind the law, or "I 
can get away with it because he can't hit me" syndrome, where the 
"lesser" becomes the aggressor.
FWIW Tom, I do agree with you wholeheartedly.
