105. It's a curious sport.

No question about it, boxing is unique. While there are a wide range of people involved in the sport, I have found boxers to be, as a group, the most intelligent and sensitive human beings that I have encountered. That, quite obviously, means outside of the ring. The depth and complexity of their character is why -- exactly why -- so many great American authors are drawn to them. Fascinated by them. There is a shared philosophy about the experience and meaning of life that I honestly think is superior to any other group of people.

I do understand that you dislike boxing, and can't get past the fact that, from time to time, boxers bleed. Indeed, in 329 bouts, I did get a bloody nose. Once.

As to your other "points made": I don't think you are scoring any points. And I'm not talking about your responses to my OPs. Rather, in general, I've notice you posting the same tortured stuff over and over. I do not think it really exists outside of your mind. Not the specific issue, which is real and both deserves and demands our attention. No, I mean you interpretation, which has become all too predictable and sad.

Boxing is art, you know. In your life, you've never seen anything that compaed with Muhammad Ali's footwork (re: dancing) in the ring. You can refuse to admit that, but it is true.
