The Coping Cop

                                                          I have devoted This Week to Kiddie Lit, Wisdom of the Ages, American Mythologies and America Folk Lore because of  "In times of War, Prepare for Peace", and the role of Education in determining American Intellection*, a disguise for the American Mind [of the American Body Politic] .   I am concerned  that Writing about War and its GROTESQUE Negativity each and every day is, literally, >grating< :   it 'grates' Our nerves until they are raw, torn and bleeding .    We must never try and escape the Reality of War but a 24-7 unremitting display of "Horror upon Horror" is MONSTROUSLY DISASTROUS because it is SOOOO SICKENING .    I find it NECESSARY to advance Forms of Coping, and to uncover Coping Mechanisms be they Ancient or Modern .   A HEALTHY Warrior is BALANCED, and thus is able to maintain a Correct Mind which then Directs CORRECT ACTION .   "Clear Mind --  Clear Action" .
