Loved the Samurai I, II and III movies. Seen several of the Zatoichi movies to. I'm a big martial arts movies fan and have seen quite a few over the years. :-) > The guy pointing at the projector has no clue. There > is a lot that you can learn from some of these films.

It is just an analogy that would have been better off leaving that part of the analogy out. The key to the analogy was getting tapped on the shoulder. If there is never a tap on the symbolic shoulder to disrupt association, we just keep on associating. David -- _______________________________________________ NEW! Lycos Dating Search.
