I agree with you. I can and do work smoothly with my like-minded,
possibly-armed fellows. Doesn't distress me in the slightest as long as
there is rough parity and roughly shared values.

SWAT teams breaking down the wrong door and shooting the wrong person?
That distresses me.

Some unfortunate deprived soul shotgunning four grad students at a
McDonald's because one of them said "you gotta be kidding me!" after he
said "give me some money NOW"? That distresses me.
