    Nice! Tweeted and highly recommended, as is the original essay.
    "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor. "

    This essay has been a great influence on me since I first read it over 40 years ago and this was a very nice application of the original.This specialization and melding of various skills has created enormous wealth.

    And yet there are still some who think specialization is for insects.
