You're right, Mike, but people who trespassing onto the "attractive nuissance"
should be shot before they drown.

You have YOUR stuff and I have MINE. You have your private space and I have
mine. I have both the right and responsibility to protect my private space and
my property. The courts have upheld the property owner's right to apply deadly
force in protecting his/her own life/property. This presents an option to other
forms of population/pest control that some might find attractive. Now all we
need is a way to transmit deadly force over the internet.
