2. Thank you

It was sort of meant to. It comes from the dumb "Will gays move to California or Vermont" question.

3. Since guns are now legal, will they discontinue blocking off

neighborhoods? Are people now on their own?

7. police never had the obligation to defend

The police have no obligation to defend any individual citizen. You were always on your own to defend yourself in the moment of the crime. I believe it was a Philly rape case that settled that question.

8. babylonsister, people always have been on their own to defend themselves

Some of us have realized that for a long time.

I figured it out in April 1968 when a large earthquake hit Southern California. I was 10 years old at the time. Since that day I have never been under the delusion that there is always going to be some benevolent government force to come and rescue me.

9. I don't understand how the police can defend someone unless they are standing next to them.

Can you explain that?
