Fat Chance: Beating The Odds Against Sugar, Pro...

Resistance, I mean such resistance as would be effective,is very nearly impossible. In the first place an overwhelmingforce is always concentrated on the single isolated individual.It is not a mob, except in the aggregation of strength andnumbers. Every thing is planned and ordered beforehand.The game is stalked. He that resists does so at hopeless odds.He may desperately determine to throw away his life; but hecan accomplish no other result than to take one with him ashe goes, and the chances are against even that. You mustremember that the attack is only made at night, is always amatter of surprise, and put in operation by a force whosenumbers strike terror, always enhanced by their fantastic guise,which also greatly increases the chances of a misshot or falseblow, should the unfortunate victim try to defend himself. 781b155fdc
