It's not just a war dance

YouTube is an extremely dangerous website. You hear one tidbit on the radio, and you spend an hour fiddling around. But in the bargain, you learn something. I've heard of the All Blacks, New Zealand's rugby team, and the dance the team does before each match. A lot of people think the haka is a war dance, but it's not all it is. Yes, it looks and sounds intimidating. But look at the history and the lyrics, especially the Ka Mate. It's a song about the celebration of life over death. Every time I've seen it tonight, I've gotten goosebumps. It's awe-inspiring.
