I love tools, especially having the right tool for the job. I respect your resourcefulness and admire it in anyone. We just disagree on the use of one particular tool for one particular purpose, so I don't know where you get the idea that I reject tools from my comment about dependency. We really aren't that far apart in our thinking. I think the only place we differ is on the appropriateness of routinely carrying a gun in public.
