I was about to say the same thing karl.
Pi might be the only example of something un-natural that I can easily imagine.
Nature doesn't use pi.

I can't believe I have to defend The Giving Tree.
If you read that book and came away with just "the taking boy" you really missed out. That book can spark so many beautiful thoughts and conversations, it's a shame to dismiss it so summarily. It's really a quite accurate allegory for the earth, though i don't know that humanity's old age and the earth's stump stage will coincide as nicely. And the earth doesn't talk.

I like how the cameraman can't keep the thing in frame to save his life until the last 10 seconds. Righttt.

I think its obvious that what you should do in this situation is take a risk. Knowing you could be sued, knowing you could be hurt, knowing you could be killed. You suck it up and you take a risk and you know that the risk you take pales in comparison to the certainty of lying to yourself for the rest of your life that calling the police was all you could do.
Do you have jujitsu moves or whatever? Probably not, but that isn't the point. Do you do any good? By not leaving someone alone in a moment like that you'll do more good in one act than most people get to do in a lifetime. You don't look opportunities like that in the mouth first.
If we want to live in a free society we have to accept the responsibilities of that freedom.
When an existential threat to your nation arises, you fight it. When a neighbor is in a struggle for her life, you defend it. And on and on. That is a big part of what it means to have integrity. Without that integrity we can't be free, and we don't really deserve the freedom happenstance has gifted us.

It's strange to me that the article never mentions the constitution, or the right this person has to a speedy and public trial. It doesn't matter what his alleged crimes are, that right is fundamentally American. Everyone involved in his case should be ashamed and the judge and prosecutor should face penalties for their lack of diligence. If we lived our constitution we would make examples of those people.
