Both are good articles. I'm making a copies for my wife to read.

Of course, I was not without my detractors. This one was priceless:

I want to protest your glorification of violence as a means of conflict resolution. Violence is an incorrect and reactionary response directed by overprivileged segments of an oppressive society toward that society's victimsâ€¦

The so called "victims" in your essay may have saved their lives, but they lost something more valuable: the moral high ground.

Right, Iâ€™d hate to get all reactionary on some guy trying to rob or rape me, thereby losing the moral high ground. Uh-huh.

Whoever wrote this needs a reality check.

I may not always be on the moral high ground as defined by the writer, but I will always seek the tactical high ground...

There is no "Moral High Ground" in a life and death struggle. One either wins & goes home or fails and dies.

The battle always goes to the one who succesfully makes up the rules.

If you want a fair fight, go to a boxing ring or DoJo. If you want to survive a confrontation, you have to be willing to do what it takes.
