Always Choose Death


"Always Choose Death" -- Miyamoto Musashi 

 The book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi 

 (Miyamoto Musashi was the greatest Samurai warrior of all history. He fought and won over 60 duels to the death in the Samurai tradition. Incredibly, in almost half of the duels he did not even use a sword, but just a wooden stick. After he retired, he became a master calligrapher and ink brush painter....)

email to my cousin David Schaeffer

 David,


If you actually are a follower of Jesus and believe that he is the Messiah and Son of God, then you might consider trying to emulate his behavior and philosophy: 1. Love your enemies, and 2. turn the other cheek.

There is little in our recent correspondence that sounds like you are kind, loving, or empathetic.   Your correspondence sounds angry, insulting, belittling and hateful.

I copied Joe Gaston, so he is a witness.

Think about it.

P.S. I might copy several of your emails to my blog so they will be preserved for all time  atwaterpub.blogspot.com

Capitalism 2020

 I find it interesting that the most capitalist country on Earth has the worst response to Covid_19. And the countries with the most successful statistical response are all Socialist or Communist countries. "Capitalism is anti human" - Zobo the Clown
