Couple of days ago, Chris makes the point that he’s “Fat, slow and dangerous”<\/a> and asks who that knows him would go up against him?<\/p>\n

Me, by my nature, I’m a coward. I’m not fast, I’m not all that coordinated, and my reaction times are not what they once were. but i have a weapon, one that few can defend against, and it is my brain. <\/p>\n

See, the idea of a ‘Fair” fight is just ludicrous to me. Why should I cross swords with someone and give that someone a chance to defeat me, if being defeated is undesired? <\/p>\n

I don’t play games, I don’t compete, i don’t have, anymore, a competitive bone in my body. I would probably engage in Sport, as Hemingway defined it, but only for amusement. I have precious little to prove, and for the most part, don’t care. <\/p>\n

if I was bound and determined to take a life, it would not involve being in a situation where that person would or could defend themselves. I avoid putting myself in those situations, and I highly reccomend it to anyone. I am not a screen talker, by any means, but when I’m in a theater and see someone doing something very stupid, it drives me nuts. There’s a scene in Serenity where the captain shoots the operative and walks away, and the operative still has his head. Stupid, stupid stupid. <\/p>\n

When you decide to do something, do it. Don’t fuck around, and don’t equivocate, and don’t hesitate at the last moment. Most of all don’t make it a “Fair fight” because the odds are good that “Fairness” will not favor you. And killing someone in their sleep is not “Cheating” its surviving. <\/p>\n

It isn’t ever someone’s strength that I fear, because I do my best to avoid situations where that is a disadvantage to me. <\/p>\n

Someone who, on the other hand, has regularly and commonly made plans to commit what the Church considers a “Mortal sin” and has done so, unhesitatingly and without fail, those are the people I watch for- and those are the qualities I admire most in people, for good or ill. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
