Yeah, it was weird in time. One time he came home in the middle of the day, and was visibly surprised and upset because my wife was over at his place talking to his wife. My wife is very wise, and it was obvious he didn't want her around his wife when he wasn't around, lest she start opening

This is fascinating, but makes sense in many ways.  If you've gotta do close in fighting, have to be able to move and pivot and jump and climb and carry in alleys, stairwells, small rooms, etc., you need those Bourne-type skillsets. Still, I imagine there'll be some type of long-distance

That is a scary thought, schools knocking out PE from their curricula. My niece hadn't had to take PE since the sixth grade, and is now worn out daily because it's not only mandatory at her new school, but intramurals as well. She was just placed on the volleyball team. To answer your two

I agree on that. That's more of a corporations running amok thing. I think they got the idea after the copyright laws were extended. At first it was for the families of the artist, but I'm sure some smart person in a company realized that if they lengthened the copyright they could keep making

PE and art are the first to go when they do budget cuts in schools. That has been a reality in California for the last 10 years. (they were even cutting it during the .com years!) Every year there are debates about it in the budget. So some school districts still have PE and some do not. What
