From: Kris Miller, Skip Kahn Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 Subject: FW: Liberal or Conservative The Difference Between The Liberal and Conservative "Debate" Over The War On Terrorism: Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a .357 Magnum and you are an expert shot.  You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.  What do you do? Liberal Answer:  Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! You're looking for simple solutions to complex issues. *  Does the man look poor or oppressed? *  Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? *  Could we run away? *  What does my wife think? *  What about the kids? *  Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? *  What does the law say about this situation? *  Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? *  Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? *  If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion. Conservative Answer:  Shoot the son of a bitch! Then take your family to a baseball game, eat some hot dogs with apple pie, sing the national anthem, go to church and praise the Lord for one more day of freedom. RIGHT ! ANSWER !!! = *** AAAAaaae ! ! ! ***
