With regard to your post, mebbie so... and on the other hand mebbie not.
For instance, it is not obvious to me that Arrien speaks about the Way of the

Dear Harrison:
Thank you for your thoughtful response. It is well that we do not all feel we
have to stand in the same place. As a Warrior, I choose to stand with
non-violence. I honour and respect your point of view. I just like Aine's
answer better...
Shalom

Thanks, Michael, for your thoughtful words.
I'm reminded of a true story. I have a friend, Joel Levey, whose grandfather
