Well, granted on the martial arts thing. You wouldn't get the chance to hit me. ;) Your assumption is that because I advocate turning the other cheek (or rather, practicing some restraint in fighting a war where civilians are killed) I would am weak and would not fight. You are wrong on both counts. FYI - I am in Texas and do carry a concealed gun, so it would be a pretty nasty fight. As to fighting back, I would defend myself to the level needed to stop the threat. If we needed to discuss later why you attempted to hit me, I would be open to that. If we could not resolve it and I felt my life was still threatened, I would be forced to kill you. > > > > > > But if you put me in a room, blind folded me, brought in 1000 > > people of all > > ages, races, cultures and sexes and had one (1) of them hit me and then > > unblindfolded me, I would NOT kick all of their asses.

Are these the innocents you worry about? Ah, you are right. Let us say we were ALL blindfolded except 5 people. Then we all took them off. No one knows who did it except 5-6 people in the room, who none of know. Now what happens? -Gary > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
