I think that talk like this is part of the techno-libertarian craze that is sweeping the blog-i-verse. These neo-libertarians make old-school NRA members look like woodstock throwbacks.
Hey now, I'm not going to criticize the paranoid among you that carry pepper spray or guns while riding in the city-- but it really is pushing it to suggest those of us that choose to use common sense and alertness to avoid/get out of dangerous situations are crazy.
I happen to live in one of the most violent cities in America (but an otherwise great place).
