Janie! How could you! I am surprised- nay, shocked.

'Tis funny- I grew up with the same strictures and inevitable expostulations. I know people - relatives - who still adhere to those same 'standards'. I and my brothers have wondered at times what makes Person A 'go astray' and Persons B and C in reaction to the defections cling all the tighter. I have never come close to an explanation.

I would quibble with the word 'Tolerance', though. 'Acceptance' is a fuller word.
