[Vision2020] Self-defense or self-immolation? You pick!

[Ron Smith]

Sounds a bit like you are trying to take on the role of husband for this woman, Ms. Opyr. How do you know what this lady needs? What do you propose for a healthy marriage? A life of selfishness, laziness, wickedness, and disrespect? Nancy Wilson simply put in a book what the Bible, the sacred book of her faith (and mine), says a Christian wife should do. I'd think you would be ok with that, since you are not anti-Christian.

 
Ron Smith/Billie the Goat/one of many Christian husbands who cherishes his wife and would never poke her in the eye with a sharp stick.

Dear Visionaries:
 
Now here's an interesting thing.  If you run a search on Google of the terms "Tai Chi" and "Moscow, Idaho," you pull up a link to a book by Nancy Wilson on appropriate behavior for Christian wives.  The book is called The Fruit of Her Hands.

Here's a snippet from the first reader's review:
 
Its about time! 	
Rating: 5 out of 5	
Review: Its about time someone stood up and told Christian women what being married to a Christian man ought to look like. It is a life of service, hard work, piety, and submission. 	
 
Gee, Christian marriage sounds about as much fun as indentured servitude.  This woman doesn't need Tai Chi, and she certainly doesn't need Nancy Wilson.  What she needs is Tae Kwon Do.  Or kick-boxing.  Or a sledgehammer and a good attorney.
 
Instead of service, hard work, piety and submission, could I just cut to the chase and get a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?
 
Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment
 
PS: The sad thing is, I really do want to find someone who teaches Tai Chi here in Moscow, but now I'm afraid to look.
