[pianotech] The most intense taekwondo fight ever!

[paul bruesch]

Agreed, Thumpe. It disturbs me that many/most/all futuristic movies depict
only more and more, higher and higher tech means of war. And to think that
Iran (sorry, not picking on them, but...) is possibly developing a bomb
some 3-5 times(??) more potent than the one the US dropped on Hiroshima,
yet that bomb being developed is dwarfed by any one of the numerous weapons
we continue to have in our holdings. First, there was SALT. Then START. Yet
we can still annihilate and obliterate. And for what greater good?

Gotta run 'n tune...
