Just kidding. Good points, and something I've always found to be true. The
masters are masters for a reason. Only one young buck in a million can
ignore the tried'n'true methods and still gain success. Everyone else that
ignores history and tradition wastes effort.
Stick to the known paths when you are learning to walk. When you have a
good foundation under you, then search the harder trails.

Freedom is an all-or-nothing proposition: either we
are completely free, or we are subjects of a
tyrannical system. If we lose one freedom in a
thousand, we become completely subjugated.
