I've been toying with the thought of bringing out some issue's of discussion. Handling a forum can be time consuming. It certainly helps to have viewers post their thoughts and opinions on certain topics. Van and Bill do a good job with this on their forums. At times, I'll add my two cents to a particular issue. I think the issues brought up are relevant and interesting. I view them constantly. I'm of the "if it's not broke don't fix it" philosophy. I couldn't add anything to highlight any social issue. I have thoughts and opinions on the issues I view, like everyone else. I see the comments of others and think it's very good for martial arts in general. It's a good thing. I've been asked to discuss some issues we see in the news and in society. That's not really why I have this forum. These issues are covered excellently by Van and Bill. I simply could not add to their coverage. I learn things from reading all the posts coming in. Even opinions I disagree with tend to be very interesting. So that is my reason for sticking to what I'm comfortable with on this forum. That is Uechi Ryu. That tends to be my answer as to why I do not delve into more social issues. It is handled very expertly by Van and Bill. They have been doing it for many years and doing it well. I'm still the new kid on the block when it comes to moderating a forum. Therefore, I do know my place. My place is to try to help make Uechi Ryu stronger. That's what I do. I hope I'm succeeding. -------Happy Trails -----Art
