Hi McGrath, actually we had an incident in Toronto a couple of years ago where an obviously deranged man (social workers called him "cerebrally disadvantaged") was swinging a sword at passersby near a bus. The cops shot him, and for many months the question of was he "actually posing a danger to society" was debated in the papers and the courts. Arguments ensued as to whether his "weapon" was a sword or because of it's length "a knife". Any wonder I sometimes think the human race has too much time on it's hands?
