The American is safe from unnessisary fighting, but it occurs. I could pull in to a hamburger stand in Spokane and fing myself at the end of someone's rage. As a man, sometimes my testosterone pumps, given. I see these street battles, granted to me by the gift of cheap video cams and cell phones, and I see this horrible (but forever past me) repeated struggle on the streets. I see this man, asking another to give up hi parking spot. Move his car please (in essence). Ending in him with a broken jaw, swollen eye (filmed by a passer-by) and he lays there, after agreeing to move. I have watched the last two hours of video upon video o f cathoplic boys fighting, catholic girls, street thugs, and friends, al fighting. I see the same thing. The struggle apparently continues. i watched a particularly good (if one can say that) fight with a street thug and a martial artist. I could see the martial artist thinking and using his training. As the thug laughed and drew him near, taunting him. He only balanced himself and waited. The film was like a little dvd cam or a small vhs. When push came to shove (on the street with many people around) this man dis his thing. One swing, and sent him to the ground. I am not a fan of this type of stuff in any way. I hate fighting. But i see that it is a part of us from time inmemorial. That apparently is what we have done for the longest stretch of history, and apparently still do now. I am almost afraid to go out. Buit bravely face the apparent happenstance. Unfoortunately, looks like we all get in fights.</div> Tue, 24 Jan 2006 08:51:04 GMT http://people.tribe.net/webjedi/blog/9b1a5add-dce4-411b-9bd7-1dbad8d6863d webjedi 2006-01-24T08:51:04Z
