In the first training session on guns, I refused holding one. They told me: "You have to know how to use a gun. This helps you defend yourself if attacked by an enemy". "But I have no enemy in my life" I replied. They went on saying: "You may not have an enemy, but your country may be attacked by enemies anytime". I asked them: " What do you mean by enemies?". Their answer was: "Your enemies are those who will impose their will on you". I re-asked them with a smile: "Do you mean they will do as you are doing to me now?". They laughed while going away and I wasn't asked anymore to attend such training.
Yet another variation on the atheist professor story.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
