I just don't understand the logic.... I'd rather die as a man, standing up looking at my enemies, than live as one of Steyn's nanny statists.
About 20 years ago a popular pediatrician in our town went back into his burning home to find his sixteen year old daughter who had fled, but was unaccounted for. He died trying to find her. (Lesson: make sure you have an assembly point.)
It made me think along the same lines as you. I cannot image how anyone could flee a burning house without his children, even if they were "merely" common law step children. I don't think I'm being macho saying that I would rather die, I just don't know how Mike can live with himself.
