Reply #109: short of building a crocodile moat around your castle

[iverglas]

and mining the lawns, and keeping boiling oil at the ready on the rooftop, and keeping your own private army on permanent alert in the back yard, the danger that is lurking just outside your door will sometimes get in.

So how come you aren't digging ditches and stocking them with crocodiles, and booby-trapping the property? Assuming you can't afford the army.

And if there are laws that say you can't, how come you're obeying them? Surely they're a violation of your right to life and your supreme inviolable inalienable unquestionable right to do whatever the hell you like to defend it.
