Had he been shot down, as he should have been, after the first shot by an armed soldier - as they all should have been at all times - it would have been considered proper, but if someone were to walk into his hospital room ( I volunteer ) and put one behind his ear right now it would induce a case of the vapors in all right-(or should I say left-) thinking citizens.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
