Re: Why did this catastrophe happen?
I don't know what will be enough to win lawsuits, but it seems to me that 10/16 under the circumstances was pretty good, and the decision to fire when drawn upon was 100% correct. The liability question seems to me rather whether they initiated the confrontation and were able to choose their lines o...

Re: Tis the Season - A little bit of partisan politics
I think the analysis in the first clip of Obama's way of thinking is spot on--the attack on individualist thinking wasn't developed, nor was it needed to support the thesis that some functions are better performed by government and that these functions support business and help to create opportuniti...

Not to worry. In the meantime I've just been debating with myself instead. It's been spirited, but we are approaching agreement.Bill Glasheen wrote:But they're on it.

Re: US Olympic Judo Athlete disqualified for...
I share Bill's amusement over the equivocation of testing positive for marijuana and cheating/doping.
On the subject of IOC drug testing and enforcement, Andreea Raducan's case is an interesting one.

Sorry. I was only commenting on a side-matter that resonated with me. I knew it wasn't where you were headed.

Re: Great Series on The History Channel
Fascinating. I've been researching my family tree on Ancestry.com recently, and it turns out that I come from an incredibly consistent line of farmers tracing back in virtually every path to colonists, mostly British colonists but also some from New Amsterdam who arrived in the early 17th century. I...

Re: POTUS Throws in the Towel
It's interesting that the Republicans are selecting a candidate who is lacking experience in the same areas for which Obama was so heavily criticized in 2008, namely foreign affairs and military. Yes, but which candidate should the party have chosen based on these considerations? And if there reall...

Re: Let's go to the video (Toyama Sandairyu)
So in some respects I agree with you I wasn't really trying to encapsulate a point of view by my choice of words there, just acknowledging that it looks somewhat different from what the "mainstream" is doing. I think you may be on to something. Like all men, Kanei lived in a certain time,...

Re: Let's go to the video (Toyama Sandairyu)
Master Toyama was a video inspiration to me. When I first saw a video of him, with only my Shorin Ryu background some months before beginning my training in Uechi-Ryu, I thought his performance weird-looking. After studying Uechi Ryu for awhile, however, I guess my thinking changed in some profound ...

Re: Severe Sanchin Testing
Van Therein lies a thought which puts the Uechi version of Iron Shirt training in perspective. It helps, but it isn't the be-all, end-all of surviving an encounter. . IMO it's less about taking a shot and more about tempering the weapons which will be in the thick of the chaos of kinetic energy. . ...
