Well, now the problem with that way of thinking is many times miracles don't happen and those who need them are the ones who almost always have to suffer the most. To me, it's a lot like having someone trapped in a burning inferno and then dangling escape ladders and other methods of rescue just tantalizingly out of reach... and just as cruel when you think about it.

As far as shooting myself in the foot... I don't reckon I've missed what I intended to shoot at that range ever and I wouldn't point one unless I intended to use it... and use it right. Missing just ain't right.
