	I don't have to look it up, I am well aware of what the  law states. 
However I am also aware of the fact that the law isn't adhered to 100% 
of the time. For a person walking to believe that the law is going to 
protect him or her is foolhardy at best. Using common sense and allowing 
self preservation to protect oneself makes one safer than any law can 
ever do for a person.

	Only a fool steps off the curb without giving any thought to their 
responsibility to protect themselves.

	The word is "soothe". The truth of the matter is that you are not 
grasping the reality of the issue and that's the last word I have on 
this topic with you.
