Jeff Cooper on Terrorism

May 2002 - "So it appears that the 'home of the brave' includes citizens who may be intimidated by the presence of a plastic knife! One may only be terrorized if he allows himself to be. 'Terror' is a bad word and should be abandoned. Apparently, we are living in an age when word usage may be dictated by the timid, the cowardly and the dishonorable. Let us turn that around and set up proper English usage to suit people who are worthy of it. Just as you cannot be enslaved against your will, you cannot be terrorized against your will. We inherit a noble tradition. Let us now resolve to live up to it!"
