Politics Can Be A Good Thing

[bagwa-john]

Gee, sounds like too many people I've met throughout my life.

They do follow the philosophy that a well placed lie can and will bring down someone you don't like. And they make the quiet fist and say ''Yessssss'', and move on with more confidence at their manipulative skills.

In the Martial Arts, I have been taught that the first strike generally dictates the outcome of a confrontation, so keep outside of strike ranges if at all possible. Too many folks are perfectly happy with the sucker punch.

Your post reminds me that the same holds true in other arenas of life.

People are too easily led by the first lie told. Accuse the opponent of what you are guilty of.

Those who snap and use a firearm have been on the receiving end of that tactic.

imo.
