I don't think I could handle living anywhere other than Texas from here on out.

DC, love it. Simple, logical, and blunt.

I agree. Money is a measure of my life. I trade my time and skills for money - what else is my life made up of if it's not my time and my intellect?

So for someone to steal my money, or the stuff I've worked so hard to get money to pay for, is no different than allowing them to kill me one inch at a time. At best, it's no different than slavery since I'm sure we all can tell you exactly how long we'd have to work to pay for a given item.

Shooting and killing thieves is as moral as shooting and killing someone who is trying to put you on a plantation or is trying to kill you. There is no difference. To shoot in defense of property is to shoot in defense of life.
