Quote of the Day – Marko Kloos

That intentionally making yourself weaker in the face of danger and aggression is somehow more civilized, moral, intelligent, or enlightened.

Marko KloosThe Ethics of Going Armed

March 13, 2012


[There are those who think the above is actually the real world.  I do not see an logical reason how the above could be true.  What is civilized about letting a rapist have his way with you?  What is moral about giving a mugger your life?  What is intelligent about letting a home invader have his way with you, your property, and your family?  What is enlightened about letting a criminal break the law?

I cannot fathom or even begin to understand these people.  I value my life, the life of my family, and the things that I spend my time earning.  That time I spend is a part of my life.  When someone threatens force to steal it, they are willing to both end my life, as well as steal the part of it I spent earning it.  What’s moral, civilized, intelligent, or enlightened about that?  What is moral, civilized, intelligent, and enlightened is to defend your family, your property, and yourself.  -B]
