I did violence for a living and way too much of it. I don't need any lessons. I gave them and received my share. I'm wearing an automatic under my t-shirt as I type this because men have long memories. It's a last resort for the prudent, and a first for the foolish.
We're trying to do what we can to the left of bloodshed, to prevent as much as possible, but ready, able, and very skilled and experienced at delivering it. I hope this works or it's back to work and I hate that work. Those who've looked into my past because of my presence here and their concern over the fact, know that I'm not talking shit. I'm not some bloodthirsty nutcase, but one truly interested in waking up people to avoid doing hell's bidding in heaven's name. So thanks, but I'll keep this non-violent approach up…while still practicing my other skills. When the time for violence comes, it will come, you won't have to go looking for it.
The superior warrior uses his superior judgment to avoid situations requiring his superior skills. Those who still have to earn a living at it, and I know many, need to be even more ready now than ever before; but as for us, we're hoping to keep them and us from the wholesale need for it. God help us.
If you have the itch, then maybe another board is more suitable. Some enjoy that life. I despise it.
