Kung Fu |
|
|
|
When I was young, I had heard of 'karate' and 'judo' but I never had heard the term 'kung fu' until David Carradine's TV show crossed the Atlantic in the mid-70's. And I don't know anyone who may have heard of the term before then.
But a curious thing happened last night. I was watching 'The Avengers' on BBC America and Mrs Peel kicked in a wooden post to free herself, but before she did, she told Steed she would "try some of my kung fu". I was astounded! Wow, people back in the mid-60's knew what it was. I wonder why? Did Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet use the term? Maybe that was it.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??
