<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sorry about the misspelling and misapplied

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> What is the valuable life lesson learned from
skiing? More people are killed participating in that sport then are hurt boxing.
Far more children are hurt and killed in swimming pools and trampolines, where
is the value there?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Boxing teaches the same valuable lessons learned in
any individual sport with the additional benefits of the self defense knowledge
and self reliance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it possible that your and Ms. Mix's contempt for
the art stems from the sensibility shared by so many women that physical combat
of any type is "icky" and to be avoided at any cost? Your objections seem to be
based less on any actual facts regarding the sweet science and more on an
emotional or visceral response common to your gender.</FONT></DIV>

cock fight. It's not for kids. As hard as I try, I cannot think of

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>According to Ms. Roscovich and Ms. Mix it's all
about the "danger" and the "physical aggression." In what way do the pieces
of paper that you refer to make the event different, more feminine?
Does the notion of men getting together to have a bit of fun with other men
leave you feeling uncomfortable? Or is it really more about the who then
anything having to do with the what?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is my understanding that the event happened
under the tutelage of a retired professional boxer, that ABA approved
headgear was worn by all participants, that absolutely no one was seriously
injured (one punch was expertly blocked by the nose of one of the
warriors but he lived to tell the tale and more importantly learned a
valuable lesson in keeping his gloves up and his chin down.)
and that a good time was had by all. With all this in mind, what place is it
of yours to piss on someone else's parade?</FONT></DIV>
