The use of pepper spray is a step toward a less violent society. Money spent on gun shot wounds and incarceration can be redirected upwards in the form of tax breaks for the rich, which, of course, will solve all problems.
I'm advocating the use of pepper spray as a substitute for gun play -- even rubber bullets. The psychopath can enter a McDonalds with a backpack full of pepper spray canisters and wreak havoc. The NRA will be happy or at least bemused. Their teaching koan of "Guns don't kill people, people do" would be devalued, but they couldn't lobby for more killing and maiming, less crying and gasping.
An entirely organic and biodegradable spray is possible, soon and not in the misty future like alternative energy sources. With a variety of spray strengths there will be a canister for every occasion. Milder sprays can be used in public school, although spanking advocates will claim that spraying is not found in the Bible.
Now that Christmas is upon us, pepper spray should be given as presents to loved ones instead of perfume or after shave. Go ahead, spray your family around the tree.
