Friday, November 09, 2007 Can't Stop CafePress Items  Although's
Carrie Olson attempted to intimidate CafePress and a CafePress
shopkeeper into removing items that mention's name (as opposed
to using its trademarked red and blue logo), it has said and
done absolutely nothing about our own CafePress offerings--which
are far more aggressive than the material that attempted to ban.
Here's one we uploaded a few days ago, but others like this one
have been online for a few weeks.  To quote the Earl of Uxbridge
in Sharpe's Waterloo, "Once you get past the lance points, it's
like killing rabbits." A lance with the full weight of a man and
a horse behind it is a terrifying weapon, but terror is its ONLY
virtue. George S. Patton Jr.'s Saber Exercise later included
instructions on how to parry a lance with a straight-bladed
sabre of his own design. Since the swordsman had the advantage
of leverage over the longer weapon, a correctly-executed parry
was certain to work, after which the lancer had no protection
whatsoever
