I thought they were #1 in populace. Either way they've got a lot of Muslims and are moving in the right direction. It's not about perfection, it's about momentum and India has it. Their economy is going like gang-busters. Their people are mostly happy and there's a feeling of a new propriety there. It's not perfect, but it's a lot like America at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Sure, you still had country farmers that were being drowned out of business, but they had options and, more importantly, their kids had huge options. As for your martial philosophy - go back to the MMA thread. If a dude picks a fight with you everyday despite the fact that you're 6" taller and 100 lbs of muscle more heavy you have to ask yourself why. If you don't, you're an idiot. Then maybe one day rather than just verbally taunt you, he pushes you. What do you do? From the sounds of it you start throwing punches and take your chances. The smarter option is put him off, get out the fight, gather information about the guy and then surprise him with the fight at a time and place, and in a manner, of your choosing based on your data. Know thy enemy. Rule #1. If you don't, and if you foolishly strike out, you take the risk of falling into his trap. Because he may be a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu expert and, when you swing, when takes you to the ground, negates your advantage, and beats the crap out of you. Don't let your enemy dictate the time, place, and manner of the fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212090 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
