thank god thre are other people around that think this way.
I often think Chivalry is dead as well.
It amazes me when people dont do the simple things anymore
I wish they would teach ettiquette classes in school now days |

A most exellent read. I often find myself having the same epic, romantic, and inspiring fantasies. I believe that with more people with this same mentality, existance on Earth would be far more pleasurable. Thanks for that article.

i gotta lotta respect for the ppl that go out on that limb anymore, its tough nowadays to be chivalrous when that means giving away attention, i think the upcoming generations are too.... "*" i guess would b the word, i see the people my age afraid to take risks, even as little as being nice or doing something that's a difficult way to get things done to keep some form of honor and fairness, always taking the simple route no matter how dirty sometimes, so glasses up, its not the niceness i'm toasting so much but the courage to do what should be done

I like the article. I experienced a similar situation with a Hapkido instructor who was a coke head. It was disheartening when I found out and it destroyed the romantic and strong conceptions I had of honor and responsibility in the arts.

Doug, great post (I know I'm a little late). Re inspired me to continue my ways of honor and respect for myself as well as for others. The mere fact that you chose to write about it shows that you are genuine.
