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?

Many years ago I saw a quick-draw artist on TV. They showed how fast he was. BAM, just like that. He said duelists years ago would have never stood a chance.

Rude, boorish people are usually bullies and cowards. They don't have the skills or nerves to be good duelists. They'd lose, and it would be a better world.

Take the Old West. There wasn't that much dueling, and the best ones, like Bill Hickok, weren't bullies. In fact, he was involved in only one quick-draw duel.

There would be very little dueling if it was legal. And cowards -- which is exactly what the neocons are -- would never do it. But they would lose honor and have to leave.

Hickok used to post a list of names on a tree. "Get out of town by sundown, or I'll kill you." They left.

If that was legal these days, there are a lot of chickenhawk, chickenshit cowards in D.C. who would be long gone.

"By ritualizing violence in a punctilious grammar of honor, as it were, duels were supposed to prevent potential chaos. That scourge of public and familial order, the blood feud, could be avoided under the problematic idea that a man's sullied reputation would thereby be restored."

This war in Iraq is a blood feud, and Dubya and his crew are too stupid to know it.

Might help with our gang activity. They could go out and legally kill each other. Works for me.
