Man am I amazed to see this thread here...thought maybe I was the only one and I hated to admit it. This is so exciting to have others that share my fear. I mean I've watched that Warrior Princess show and she scares the hell out of me. Just one of her fighting mad looks sends me down to the local "Shoot & Scoot" for a big bottle of that Immodium stuff so I don't foul up any more u-trou. Lemme' go back and read what has been written so far....

Oh...Sorry

P.S. ... Mandatory catspaw joke is over.

We live in a world and society where the bigotry of the herd instinct becomes paramount. Self-esteem is so important that the easiest attainable positives come from inflicting pain on the minorities. I wrote to someone early on around here that I am rarely offended by anything...except the way we treat each other. Sometimes my greatest fear is that the people who may talk the best line lack the courage of their convictions. Do I fear for my wife and family by taking stands...certainly. But what children do I rear by letting others do my bidding. But we must keep a sense of humor, to quote Lord Byron (George Gordon)...a favorite of mine...

" And if I laugh at any mortal thing, tis that I may not weep."

DO what's right...and to Hell with them!
