I think it's obvious from your posts that you know less about OC spray than you think you do.

Thank you. I know which brands not to buy. I would never recommend a fogger and I am not advocating using one. That is a side debate on a minor point. On to the major points.

Care to prove that normal glasses protect you from pepper spray? Or any of your other claims such as a high tolerance to pain and being high on drugs makes you immune to pepper spray?

No, an armed society is a violent society in which the individual needs lethal force to ensure their own safety. There is nothing polite about such a society.
Gotta kinda agree with cyclaholic here; politeness is 'forced' in an armed society, rather than integrated into the collective psyche. And if anyone actually BELIEVES that little nugget, go check Watts, South Chicago, or any ghetto you care to choose. Plenty of armed THUGS there, and drive-bys are a way of life. When the gun stops being a phallic substitute, THEN it may well become an effective deterrent.

That sounds a little too exciting. Your taser might have saved you a really bad night. I love how the guy assumed it was a gun ... and how you didn't correct him.
He wouldn't be the first person in the Bay Area to get a gun and a taser mixed up.;)

Gun advocates might respond that many residents are too poor to afford proper firepower to protect themselves and that the solution is to offer free or subsidized guns to poor people :)
