Mr Farmer didn't like the book, and posted that opinion. Then
TOD did exactly what you claim to not like so much .. attacked his
intelligence when he heard a point with which he disagreed.
Are you forgetting the volkish ramblings of Hittler, The Shinto of Japan, or the Islamic fundamentalism of (you name it). These are examples of traditionalism with teeth.

Please proceed; because, this ought to be good.Originally posted by rmcrobertson

No, it is not as simple as the Athenians worshipped Athena, while the Spartans worshipped ol' Aries.
And even in yang and yin, if you look at the symbol, there's a little of the opposite in each.
Of course, there is the dialectical understanding of culture and historical development, but that's different.
Moreover--I say again--kenpo does not simply divide into trad and rad, however pleasing it might be for us to put overselves on one side or t'other.
The very term "radical," implies both a return to roots and a dissection of origins, coupled with sweeping change.
