Only half kidding, but my actions may have been heavily influenced by whether I had recently backed my laptop up.

Hehe. Backups MAY be the only thing I do more carefully than reholstering...
As for the financial equations, I think your position is reasonable, even if I come to a different conclusion. I don't know if we'd disagree about the reasoning so much as the priorities. I won't use deadly force to protect property, but I won't stand by while I'm robbed. If the robber escalates from property theft to deadly force, then I'll react to that independently of the property theft. Does it create more risk for me? It certainly has the potential to do so. It's a risk I'm willing to accept, though, with eyes open....
The answer, it seems to me, is wrath. The mind cannot foresee its own advance. --FA Hayek Specialization is for insects.
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
Dropkick,
Not seeing the ECQC course you listed on Shivworks' website. Care to elaborate on where you found those dates?
Thanks!
Thank you sir - just saw they are full-up though. Maybe next year!
As far as I know, there aren't going to be any more dates/locations added, but there's a good chance you'd be able to register for an existing class on the 2013 schedule, or at the very least get on a wait list. Try getting in touch with the class point of contact. Hope that helps.
SN,
