[Sinbin] Political Question to Ponder

[Emil Gullia]

How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans, and Southerners? 
Pose the following 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, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and
you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches
you and your family. What do you do?
---------------------------------------
Democrat Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question. Does
the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him
that would inspire 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? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does 
this
send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely
want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while
he was stabbing me? Should I call 911?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint
and weed day, and make this a happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a
few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican Answer:
BANG!

Southerner's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! click....(sounds of reloading).
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! click.

were using?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of 
arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, cigar in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body 
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
