I've read some stuff over the years about how the Bush Administration is so fond of the doctrine of preemtive war and that Darth Cheney's threshold for preemption is a 1% chance of something bad happen.
Some years ago, in a flat state between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, I was gassing up my little Honda Civic. A pickup truck pulled up alongside the other side of the pumps. The driver got out to fill up the truck and the various pieces of gas-powered equipment he had in an open-bed trailer.
The driver had a shaved head and spiderweb tattoos on both of his elbows.
My understanding at the time was that such tattoos were an indicator that one was a white supremacist or suchlike and that the person so inked had either participated in a gay-bashing or an assault on a minority.
Given the 1% Doctrine, would I have been morally justified in shooting his ass right then and there? (I'm not talking about "legally justified", I know the answer to that.)
Well, That’s A Car Of A Different Color!
