Aim for the libbies, honey. The smile on her face at the end is priceless!

Teach this to your children. Or don't, if you prefer to raise servile plebes.

Well, in the first place an armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization. That’s a personal evaluation only. But gunfighting has a strong biological use. We do not have enough things to kill off the weak and the stupid these days. But to stay alive as an armed citizen a man has to be either quick with his wits or with his hands, preferably both. It’s a good thing.

- Robert A. Heinlein, "Beyond This Horizon"; Chapter 15.
