The famous starting words at a boxing match, so simple, yet so elegant. Sometimes we need to stop and ask ourselves, "Are we keeping it clean?" Things like torture, internet porn, pointless shootings; these things make me truly question whether we as a civilization want to keep it clean, or do we want a mess?! I sure don't want a mess, yet readily admit, in the same breath, it's incredibly hard keeping it together.
From the obvious blows hockey players exchange, to the much more subtle things like daily discourse, we should continously be asking ourselves, are we keeping it clean? And no Prince nor Princess, Emperor nor Private, may force this civility on you, I must catch myself, and accept my own humanity.
