Next he compares the federal governments budget to that of a normal household. Put in terms any normal person can understand we have a big problem.

John Mosby talks knives and knife fighting. I probably do not have enough to justify a whole post on the topic but in brief. 1) A knife is a tool that can be used as a weapon. Sort of like how it would be foolish to jump me while I’m holding a framing hammer. As such a knife needs to be looked at in the light of a tool first and a potential weapon as a distant second. 2) Knives are infinitely more lethal than hands but in realistic engagements perfect placement is iffy with everyday carry type blades (vs a sword, kukuri, etc). 3) Due to their unique characteristics knives can serve an excellent ‘get off me’ role. Lots of folks can box, wrestle or just plain brawl so a bit of that is nothing new but if you do the best singer sewing machine impression possible with a blade in the soft lower half of their torso most folks will either become incapacitated or leave rather quickly. 4) Like John I find the odds of a knife fight a la West Side Story or a bad 80′s rated R action flick quite low. Odds are someone will be trying to stab/ slash me and I’ll be trying to fight them off or visa versa.
