Policing the integrity of one’s system is one thing done even among insects; the irresponsibility and circumventing civil law is quite different. In Arizona Glock (btw never had a 30 banana clip in the Nam) sales when up after the shooting, as if, I the person needs to keep up with the weapon of choice. I find it a sad commentary. Our gun manufacturing is the most productive of all our classic manufacturing. Says quite a bit; Julian Assange’s plea raises conscious about the mores’ of my nation.<br />I was watching Green Hornet (1966) on Syfy last night. Bruce Lee is an immortal of mine. I was struck by a few things. 1) The level of violence was soft, and it had introduced some great techie tools already. It was all about the craftiness of the Euro male star and Lee. 2) I would agree that the depiction of violence got truer with Holden in the Wild Bunch 1969, and of course my man Lee Marvin in Point Blank 1967. Yet there was a separation of drama with brilliant punctuations of violent act. Today the drama is the violent tones. 3) Politics and governances cannot be ruled by the same praxis, even if we accept our rough talking tradition. It has become us in our political engagement, and history teaches that even though hate speech does not equate hate action; it is the ecology that is created that triggers the possibility of organized putsches against governance. No open violent political ruling comes over night; it has to evolve, in a space where social contemplation and compassion is weak. Of course I will see the new Green Hornet, it gives honor to our great Bruce Lee, who understood righteous and responsibility in the use of violence. And it will be more violent, yet replace the cartoon nature of the original.nanakwamenoreply@blogger.com
