Re: The mind seducing awareness…
As Ajahn Dtun Thiracitto said -
The truth is silent. That which speaks is not the truth.
I'll have what she is having.
...And now back to the Sufi corner, where speech is silence and others silence is a chattering mind monkey... allegedly.

Re: All things Sport(s)
… you mentioned the new event -breaking.
It is a 'street sport' BUT to be in the Olympics it has to find its legs so to speak.
Will sit on the fencing, for sure.
I refuse to watch dressage. Expensive ponies prancing about. Bring back jousting I say! I'd like to see Princess Ann get a medal in that! (bit late for her.) 
Which countries are banned for naughtiness? Did not see any Russians. Was Israel allowed to compete?
I have only been to the para-olympics (in London). It was an amazing day.
...meanwhile here are some office athletics

Re: DoubleSpeak...
There are three primary groups fluent in Double Speak
* Politicians
* Lawyers
Televangelists (Pick your grift)
*It can be noted that the string pullers do remain behind the curtain.
While these groups can be quite hazardous to common folk, a bit of salt and a touch if levity can often defuse them as the are alergic to salt and unable to comprehend humor.
Yes, dear folk, the Sun will still rise in the morning and set in the evening,
Peace to all
