Re: Problem in communication here
[ QUOTE ]
All I'm saying, and I'm challenging anyone to prove otherwise, is that the many are almost always stronger than the one. [/ QUOTE ] I think its pretty easy to refute that the many police (who aren't there) are less strong at the time than the one with a gun (who is there) when your home is broken into. Gee, tough challenge. |

\"Free market security\"
[ QUOTE ]
I noticed on my travels to Eastern Europe that high class facilities like casinos and night clubs had private security that dealt with everything. No police involvement unless people died...and even then....That's free market security. [/ QUOTE ] I wonder how many people in western democracies, incl. the US, would choose to exchange their police with the kind of "security" one enjoys in Eastern Europe now. The kind you describe as "free market security". |

Re: \"Free market security\"
Yes, please notice that some of the most vocal gun confiscation types all have private armed bodyguards.
To name a few: Oprah, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, Sara Brady, Rosie O’Donnell. More of the “It’s OK for me but not for you types. |

After an anti-gun tirade she was asked why her bodyguard carried a gun, and she responded something along the lines of "to protect myself from the right-wing nutjobs" or something along those lines. Funny how her protection justified guns, but yours and mine does not. This is from memory and I have no source, sorry. Take it FWIW. Of course, hypocrisy is part ofd the liberal creedo, I believe. Norman Lear, producer of the anti-SUV TV campaign, has a mansion with a 20-car garage, while the other anti-SUV nutjob Arriana Huffington has a 9000 sq ft home and private jet. So a suburban family of 6 can't drive around town in a Ford Explorer, but a rich old c-nt can live in 9000 sq ft elegance. |

[/ QUOTE ] I never said that private security does not already exist in the West or that it should be abolished. Peter666 stated that he preferred "free market security", i.e. armed private bodyguards, instead of what the west currently has, i.e. government employees as law enforcement agents. And I wondered if other people share Peter's preferences. We could run a poll, maybe. |
