back in the long ago, i was a wrestler. i was pretty good, won some tournaments, captained a high school team, etc. nothing earth-shattering, but no slouch either. later on, i picked up muay thai (thai kickboxing). this was back in the 90’s, long before it was trendy and when the gyms were dirty, hard, fighters only affairs. no one came for thai-bo. you came because you aspired to fight full contact.
A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
