5. Nah, too expensive. Victoria's Secret is for the young and rich.

I'm of the Granny panties era. Must be all cotton briefs and I then feel well girdled. That is my 21st century approach. Used to be really girdled (Playtex) but I grew wise to that back in about 1965 or so. After 2 kids, it doesn't matter anyway.

9. Since you asked. The expression comes from these verses

Ephesians 6
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

19. On the topic of method of actions

(First off, I don't think it is necessary or proper for me to judge Tom in any way, so I will just say that I have seen him do kind things, and I have seen him use his platform to defend the rights of people that do not have a platform. I do not have all the same beliefs as him, and have found traps for me when I have heard of some of those beliefs. But his role in life can be influenced by both good and evil forces like anyone else, and I have seen him do good things. And it is for him to choose his path)

But my point was more on how you said, 'and fights like evil' I think the figure you picked actually comes from a movie (Legend) Tom made where that thing was the enemy.

But what I wanted to comment on is the way in which someone would 'fight', for the method of fighting is the actions a person takes, and in that it is which side they are on. There is a thought that says your means are your actions, the ends are your intent. But the thing is, we live everyday in the means, and usually hope for the ends. So the means are a big part of who you are.

How you chose to fight can define what and who you are. And many that choose bad means to reach some presumed good ends, many times will never reach the good ends, because there seems to always be one more hill to climb, and in that they spend there time and energy living in the badness of a chosen means.

So I would say 'fighting' is the better ways of kindness, listening, sharing, learning, love, and even the humility to check ones own actions to see how they stack up to what a person wants to be. In my view that would be the best attempt at actions, not always realized, since we all make mistakes at times.
