		<description>I don't want to sound anti-American, but I can't stand hypocrisy.

I can't stand torture even more.

		<description>As I write this, I've been married for 21 years. To the same woman.

In those 21 years, it hasn't been unusual for me to get myself into trouble. This is a story about me trying to get out of trouble.

		<description>At the social networking site, Tumblr, my friend asked &lt;a href="http://inthefade.tumblr.com/post/125988125/ten-quick-questions"&gt;Ten Quick Questions&lt;/a&gt;. You're supposed to answer them on Tumblr. See that's what makes it a social network.

I'm a heretical loner. I posted my answers on my own website.

You're soaking in them.

		<description>Renzo Gracie came to the United States almost 20 years ago. He settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey (where he still lives) and started the prestigious Renzo Gracie Jiu-jitsu Academy in Manhattan, NYC.

I met him before he even opened up my school. He told my instructor that I "could be good. He fights with his feet." Soon after that, I stopped formally studying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This is a conversation I had with Renzo Gracie.

		<description>This story is old, but it's only old for me. Parents every day are making these same decisions for their children. They are doing heroic thing for their children.

This story could really be any day, any child, any parent.
