"Told the shipping company's to buy more and larger cannon, then learn to use them effectively.
If they wanted to continue making money, that is. "
Pat.
Pat,
I missed the
symbol, so have to guess either you figured the statement was ludicrous enough to stand as a joke without the indicator or you really have no idea of the conditions of the time.
Your statement is tantamount to saying the pizza guy should be armed if he wants to deliver in some neighborhoods, and so should the paperboy etc. I have not lived in the 'rough part of town' and, judging from the photos of your place, neither do you. There are, however, people who would have no compunctions whatever about relieving you of your hard-earned (I assume) income and benefits. In fact, let's turn your signature line around a bit and ask:
"What if your neighbow confronts you, demanding your money at gunpoint, and he has bigger guns and more family members than you ?"
Your apparent solution is to buy more guns. Sorry, you have no income left. You starve. Too bad you don't live in a country which had a constitution declaring, "To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations; "
A few days ago, I made a prediction that if the country you professed to desire ever came into being, it would have a standard of living closer to that of Cuba than to the one you enjoy today.
I stand by that, except to add the caveat the standard of living would be below Cuba's. The only good side would be that people would be free to leave, (wouldn't they?)
If the response was a joke, I guess I get it.
