    Very true, but not at all easy for some people. I think we still suffer a sort of "frontier" complex, a psychology that is most probably the result of our lack of culture and history. Euros find it far easier to express feelings openly than do we Amis. It is a serious flaw, and it is one that affects (infects) our politics, as well. No other civilized nation puts up with the bullshit that our campaigns almost always degenerate into. We have never learned to discuss; we only shout at each other.

    Why is it that methods for rehabilitating the mental state of rescue animals is understood, but throwing another human under the bus is celebrated?
    Same "frontier" attitude. It is far easier for the man on a horse to show mercy to an animal than it is to share a bit of fleeting emotion with another man. Despite all that is bruited and published about equal rights, many of our fellow Amis -- if not most, actually -- still harbor sexist superiority that permits the penis to dominate any issue -- this not in the true libidinal sense, or simple concupiscence, but as a matter of pure, alpha male domination as an animal right.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I'm trying to get more info from my sister now. Maybe ma chose not to believe the adoption thing?

    Chugwater is some kind of desolate place all right. Rode the train through there many times. Grass, wild sunflowers, and absolute zero winters with kih-kass winds.

    ...and another thing, if anyone here doesn't think blood line/origin makes any difference you are in denial or completely blind.

    This just in from sister after I asked about mom knowing if her father was adopted.

    "No, not that I know of.

    This all came about after Mom died. Going geneology and the internet discovered this fact."

    I think the whole nit pick thing is nonsense. I was corrected by my sister once for referring to the Chinese as Orientals. She replied "Asians". Well duh, the (Hindu) Indians are Asian too then.
