Found in my mailbox a few hours ago:

<font color=red>"Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep."

" We seem to have changed and not for the better . Why do you suppose the creeps of the world have declared open season on the Americans ? Where do you suppose the idea arose that a man can make it without fighting ? It delivers the soft up to the wicked ; it makes the American the laughing stock of the age . We wring our hands , we look for solutions , but what we need is will . The goblins of the world believe that Americans will not fight and will grovel at the possibility that other Americans may be killed . Savaging a prisoner to death will intimidate rather than enrage the American public . As cowards they fear the Israelis but not the Americans as they know they will not do anything but whimper . CONTRAST >>> some years ago two pirates attempted to take over a flight from Madrid to Rome . The passengers killed them , the stewardesses covered them up with blankets and opened the bar . More recently a troll seized a girl in a Philippines bank , doused her with gasoline and threatened to burn her unless he was given all the ready money . The customers not only beat him to death , they dismembered him ! " { Jeff Cooper }

Ever seen some dan-tests today ? The sparring matches are more like a French kissing contest ! And you wonder why the Okinawans don't respect us ?

It all boils down to perception in this age of imagery ; a positive image of skill , competence and courage !

That is mind set !
