narrowly escape death("I was born in South Africa in 1961 and left the country in 1996. My wife and I had been attacked twice and both times narrowly escaped death. It left us severely traumatized. Our last gesture before leaving was to drive down the coast, dismantle parts of our pistols and throw them in the ocean, vowing to find a place in the world where guns weren't needed." (True story of an immigrant to Canada, Maclean's Magazine)ART Vancouver)
