A superficial resemblance would be that one rapist might die, but this is not murder, and one rapist is not all rapists. > Lauri's original comment: > > >Please excuse my bloodthirstiness, but if I am being attacked, I will most > > >certainly do my best to stop my attacker.

Snover - STC StorageTek (Disk Division) I'm sorry to add to the volume of comment on this topic. I really couldn't stop myself.
