TURNING THE TABLES: Samizdata.net looks at self-defense against would-be carjackers. I love this paragraph–but read the whole thing:
When a propagandist tells you that you shouldn’t rely on anecdotes and that it’s a more complicated issue, that means that the people he’s arguing against are winning the anecdote war and have succeeded in simplifying the issue in a way that he doesn’t like. He’s trying to complicate it by adding his argument to the one that is winning.
