Knowledge of and experience with weapons is a type of strength, one which great efforts are currently being made to curtail. This is not limited to the usual modern weapon such as firearms, knives or even bows. The sling is an ancient and powerful weapon that I suggest learning to make and use yourself. It can be carried in a pocket, won't be detected by a metal detector, and ammunition is everywhere. (Cut an oval out of a piece of leather five inches by three inches. Punch two small holes ½ inch from each end for the cords. Should have a small oval hole in the center.) Yawara sticks, bos, atlatls, bolos, boomerangs; the list goes on.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Why do I have to pay attention NOW?
I'm gonna see it again, Right?
Trying to cram after the Final Exam has already begun has historically resulted in a poor outcome.
The folks who do are generally the same people who have to grab the hot stove with both hands.
We call them "comedy relief".

Every Boy Scout (and Girl Scout) knows this, you should too.
Yup. Just gear isn't enough, have to know how it works, and have to practice.
