Duelling
Because a society where duelling is legal is a polite society. (Not to be confused with the saying "An armed society is a polite society", because quite clearly our septic cousins are far from polite, and guns do not make people polite. Swords and fencing rapiers do.)
It would also resolve a lot of inter-office politics, with people stabbing each other in the back. You could call someone out, then have a duel in the car park, and run them through the front instead.
Much more civilised, I say.
How many bosses would suddenly start being a lot nicer to their staff, I wonder ?Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
