I say yes. I would call out John Podhoretz, Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, David Frum, and every other neocon. Would they act as they do if they were...let's see...dead?

Should Dueling be Legal?

To defend non existent honor?

More often than not rude, boorish people with superior dueling skills would refuse to apologize, claiming that their honor had been offended, and, dueling only reinforced their anti social behavior. And, fear of a man's pistol skills were substituted for respect.

Why should someone with nothing to lose be permitted to call out those they envy, who have a lot going for them?

I don't know too much about it, but it seems that "I challenge you to a duel" is part of free speech and presumably can be ignored.

It's against the law in California, and with good reason.

In the six years that I lived there I saw so many pointless homicides because of cultural insults and imperatives that I don't even understand.

I saw people who were murdered and maimed for the silliest of reasons, but had they "been the bigger man and walked away" (as alien to their culture as spider web tats on the face are to mine) they'd have been forever punked in their gang controlled enclaves.

I stopped in a hospital room (I worked in a hospital there) to meet a 16 yr old Mexican American who had been shot in the thigh with a load of bird shot, and believe me, the sight of over 300 holes in a boy's leg was something I won't forget. He wasn't a gang banger when he was shot, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But, once he was given the gang equivalent of a bronze star by being wounded with a shotgun and surviving, he was a gang banger the next time I saw him.

His mom did her best to keep him out, but just being a Chicano in Pico Rivera forced him to pick a team and be willing to die for their non existent honor.

There are many cultures in The US, and if the practice of dueling were given legal cover there would be too many senseless deaths and it would cheapen human life the way it already is in Los Angeles. Armenians, Russians, Asians and Hispanics to name a few would make it a rite of passage.

And, the concept of earning others' respect would be indistinguishable from fear. I knew too many murderers and cutthroats there who had no fear of incarceration, but were deathly afraid of being reduced in the eyes of their peers.

One Chicano guy I knew owned had his own detective agency and guard company, and while working in uniform at KING TACO in East LA one Friday night he took a bottle of beer away from a Mujado who proceeded to leave and return with a shotgun and shoot the guard's left hand. The wound resulted in amputation of the hand. The shooter went to prison but that was preferable to being humiliated in front of his homies by a "punk security guard".

I shudder to think of all the frustrated people with little to lose who would escalate road rage into "legal duels".

I'd prefer that those types remain criminals rather than allowing low class whites and 3rd world types to use a stupid, anachronistic tradition to provide lift under wings of senseless violence.
