You didn't answer my whole question.  When you say "deal with the
consequences" do you really mean that I should just bleed to death?  Or if
someone attempts to rob or kill me in my own home I should just let them
do it?  Is this *punishment* for clumsiness, or poor judgement of
character?

That's nice for you.  It's great that you would be able to make that
*choice* and no one else would make it for you.
