Well, if you're talking about "Mace", in quote, which is usually pepper
spray, agreed. This stuff reminds me of the line in Blazing Saddles:

	"No, don't shoot Mongo; that'll just make him mad."

As for real MACE, my wife (as an ex-peace officer) has some. Get a little
on your attacker, and he's on the ground. For several minutes.

Of course, real MACE is not legal in most places for most people, and I
would never advocate violence against someone. Even if they are a jerk.
Even if they are a scum-sucking pathetic excuse for a dick-headed piece
of pond slime jerk who cuts you off at half your speed.  Never.

Amen.

The day an 18-wheeler can even keep up with my 10V 100Q is the
day my cat is driving it.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she drives slower than I do.
