Good food for thought...and when animals are forced into a fight, it's fast, vicious, and hopefully not 'fair' tatics that are used.

mercop, thanks for another good post...

Good comparisons to the animal kingdom.

I read the other day that humans are the only species that try to talk themselves out of recognizing danger: "Oh, I'm just being paranoid." On that point, we could learn from the animals, as we could from several points you made.

Good stuff. Keeps me thinking.

There seems to be a fixation these days with people carrying things made out of things like titanium and Kryptonite for use as koppo sticks kubatons. They draw attention. More often what I see is people taking a great self-defense tool like flashlights and turning them into edged weapons by adding a strike bezel.

Thanks for that explanation. I was thinking along a totally different train of thought. I'm glad I asked for clarification.
