Reason and Force

[jeffalso]

"Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it

Impressive!

Whoever wrote that ought to be interviewed on every TV news program in the country. It is the most intelligent, well-reasoned and articulate description of reason and force that I have ever read!

F**K, I'd rather this guy would represent gun owners, rather than the often inept, slow, and inarticulate dweebs the NRA and other such organizations have been fielding these days.

I also very much like the fact that he articulates the benefits to women and to gays. The NRA is too much of a politically conservative old-boy's organization to ever attract much in the way of female and especially, gay membership. And without those demographics in our corner, gun control too easily will rear its ugly head.

Simply stated, without scads of gays and women joining our ranks, it will be far too easy to continue to condemn all gun owners as right-wing extremists and b-s like that.
