Roger, over and out.

Spearhead 1 here.

Sparrowhawk to Spearhead

Alice and George were very good at conflict.

Instead, I have to carry a spear.

All I had to do was to carry a spear.

Number three throw a spear.

That's all we do, carry a spear.

Ain't but one tribe uses a lance like that.

You remember that scalp strung on Scar's lance? Long and wavy?

Carry a spear in the first act, and in the second act.

I wonder if we'll ever carry a spear again.

Take up the spear and shield and arise to help us.

And this is a spearing mantis shrimp, or stomatopod.

Sparrowhawk to Spearhead 1, Aquila 2, Beelzebub 3.

The first paradox is that growing up is about rejecting the past and then promptly reclaiming it.

Father wears silk garments every day, and a golden helmet, and his lance flashes like gold in the sun.

Ambivalence?

The whole idea of contradiction, but the acceptance of contradiction is the telling of a story, not the resolution.

Very inconsistent.

And they've managed to keep out the seismologists and the oil workers with spears and blowguns.

The universe is a contradiction.

And this is instead of contradiction.

Everything's a contradiction.

You're contradicting yourself.

It sounds like an oxymoron.

Europe s Paradoxical Parliament

Did you take a vow?

28. The first conflict was between universality in the court s membership and the effectiveness of its powers.

So, mantis shrimp come in two varieties there are spearers and smashers.

Which brings me to my third paradox.

It's about embracing the paradox.

Ambivalent Arabia

Reconciliation s New Frontier

However, one does not contradict the other.

I got no quarrel with you, Shane.

Isn't that paradoxical?

I think we're talking at cross purposes again.

It's all about contradiction, which I think is why I'm so sensitive to contradiction in general.

Among the tensions that schools and institutes of public administration should have helped resolve are those between the demand for bureaucratic cultural change and the benefits of institutional stability, between managerial flexibility and the sanctity of the rules, between the domestic mandate of Government and its international (as well as regional) obligations and between short term pursuits and long term strategic concerns.

If we aren't going to be afraid of conflict, we have to see it as thinking, and then we have to get really good at it.

But sometimes it's very paradoxical.

The most perfect case of ambivalence I ever saw.

What does Left or Right mean?

It is generally accepted that treaties which are incompatible with armed conflict are suspended during the period of incompatibility.
