Johnny Utah: “Yea - I got my Knee folded back about 90º the wrong way.”
Bodhi: “That’s why you never went pro?”
Johnny Utah: “Two years of surgery - missed my window. Went to law school instead.”
Bodhi: “Law school? You’re a Lawyer?! Well, life’s not over yet man, you’re surfin’.”

"Knowledge is conventionally considered to be of two kinds: subjective and objective, knowing what and knowing how, having and being. The 'what' type is objective knowledge that you can acquire and have. It's the analytical knowledge of science, of facts that can be measured, calculated and tested, and so is almost the only knowledge taught in schools... The other kind of knowledge is "how", knowledge of being, of body, mind and soul that you can only discover for and in yourself."
- 'The Tao' (Mark Forstater - 2001)
Creating an authoritarian "coalition" to promote and encourage throngs of migrant city folks to overuse and disrupt long established traditional climbing areas, many natural rattlesnake habitat, makes about as much sense to us as establishing an authoritarian government entity "to protect wildlife and their natural habitats" that subsequently installs a 24/7/365 hissing, vibrating gas well directly enclosed by natural rattlesnake habitat. Not long thereafter, and to present, there is not a snake to be seen. And that was probably the largest concentration of rattlers we've encountered here within our beloved ridge tops. Climbed there for over twenty years - would occasionally step over rattlers. They didn't bother us - we didn't bother them.
Bodhi: They only live to get radical, they don't have any real understanding of the sea, so they'll never get the spiritual side of it."
