Interesting that you then must logically regard your average armed law enforcement officer and beat cop, as well as all the men and women of the U.S. armed forces, not to mention the vast majority of U.N. peacekeepers protecting refugees, as people who "live in fear."  I would also insist on regarding anyone who cannot recognize and properly use a common tool as both pathetic AND ignorant. 

And pray tell, just what does your past employment as a paperboy have to do with the price of tea in China?  Why should we know or care?
