Maybe not ALL conservatives feel the way Buckley does, but The American Conservative posted it, so they must think it's representative of conservative thinking.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Billwilliam harrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981478282688361274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-80943132505624957512009-06-18T18:03:58.334-07:002009-06-18T18:03:58.334-07:00I think the title of your blog post is disingenuou...I think the title of your blog post is disingenuous.

Thanks for adding your take on it. I...Hey C.S.,<br /><br />Thanks for adding your take on it. I've been a fan of your articles in Iron Man over the years (although I quit reading the mag a few years back) - some your articles helped shape my training philosophy.<br /><br />Now that I know about your blog, I'll be a loyal reader.<br /><br />Regarding the article, I did see his disclaimer near the top, but the basic assumption seemed to be that anyone who is meticulous about health MUST be neglecting the soul (and the mind). Guess it set me off and I needed to rant.<br /><br />What you say about bodybuilders is true - even just the basic gym rats. There's a 50 yr old guy at my gym still using a LOT of gear, posing in the mirror, fixing what's left of his hair - impermanence meditations (in the charnal grounds of India) would be good for him. :)<br /><br />Peace,<br />Billwilliam harrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981478282688361274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-76796007539773109632009-06-18T14:04:50.577-07:002009-06-18T14:04:50.577-07:00First off, Bill, been reading this site for some t...First off, Bill, been reading this site for some time. It's one of the best.<br /><br />Buckley definitely didn't mean this as a parody. And, in fairness to him, he does—in the full article—mention something about the article being intended for those fitness enthusiasts who neglect their body and their soul<br /><br />(I must say, too, that a lot of the average bodybuilders—the type of guys that I happen to train with—could use some Buddhist meditations on death, sickness, old age, and impermanence. They need to understand that their bodies will not remain the same forever.)<br /><br />But for those of us who do take care of body, mind, and soul; yeah, this piece was downright insulting.C.S.
