How To Fight

I am not an advocate of violence. I firmly believe in Isaac Asimov’s assertion that “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”.

However: This emphatically does not mean that when one is attacked, it is necessary to passively sit there and allow oneself to be pulped. The young lady who writes the Violent Acres blog learned this at the tender age of six years:

Armed with my new tips and tricks, I laced up my skates and headed out to face the jungle that is childhood. When the boys confronted me again, I dared them to mess with me. One ballsy kid lunged towards me with the intent of pushing me down. Quickly, I kicked that kid squarely between the legs with my skate. He crumpled to the ground as I hysterically screamed at his friends, “I’LL EAT YOUR EYES I’LL EAT ALL OF YOUR EYES” Terrified, those boys got up and ran like Hell. I’ve never felt so empowered in my entire life.

You go, girl.
