Well, I failed again at double entendre!  "Call me a mystic"  as in
"Call a mystic for me", rather than "Identify me as a mystic".  
Yes, it was easy to miss, and I apologize, again.  And I have to again
assert, mythic violence is not violence, as when we were splitting
heads into eight parts.  But mythic violence has meaning, and it is
important not to let the literal minded run away with fantasy.

Guilty as charged, although I lay complete and total responsibility on
The Coyote, since he is known for that sort of thing.  

But seriously, I am once again attempting to complete a work on the
notion of a Buddhist Just War doctrine, and could really use all the
help I could get.
