So, what's wrong with saying something nice about a turtle?

How would you feel if you were constantly being called slow, if people often told stupid jokes about you, or made unflattering comparisons to George Bush. It is no wonder so many of us retreat into our shells. All these negative messages from the dominant culture are really hard to take. Some of us become so dispairing that it seems life is no longer worth living. I've been tempted more than once myself to 'cross the road', as we say.


There are some who would say the risk I am taking in communicating directly to you is too great. I say some things are worth sticking your neck out. LONG LIVE TURTLE BOY!!!
