"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound..." Malcolm-X [600x300]

Hoo boy... I'm just going to sit back and watch this one. It's not going to be pretty.

You really shouldn't remove any objects that pierce you. Often they act as a plug and prevent blood loss, get immidiate medical help but don't pull it out unless absolutely necessary.

People tend to have strong opinions about Malcolm X. If you haven't read his autobiography, I'd encourage you to do so before forming your opinion. It left me realizing he was way more complex than his typical portrayal, and I found myself appreciating his perspective in a way I didn't expect. That's not to say I agreed with him often, but I understood him.
