<nodding out> You don't sound like much a *pig*, whatever exactly that is. And what would I, or anyone else, care what you say, unless you are talking bad or down to me/them; or what you do unless it is done to me/them; or how you behave unless it hurts someone? Now if it hurts someone, that's different. But that's being an asshole, not a "pig". And you've never struck me as either.

Genetic imperitives? People being what and who they are does not require a battle. With respect and understanding and caring, all things are possible. Men are men and women are women, and there is a world of grey inbetween where individuals are individuals. And, yeah, I'm optimistic even if I a depressive suicidal mess. Aren't paradoxes grand?

Thanks for the chat.. and g'night.

That's impossible, isn't it? Everywhere you go, someone's got an opinion. Of course, one simply ignores them, for the most part. But one also accepts that the way one behaves in private is not the way one behaves in public, in small, but very key ways. And what constitutes proper public behavior is defined, by and large, by the public, and varies from place to place. As you know. So one must be told what to day, do, think, or behave, in public.

Having schoolteachers as parents you probably got more of this than some of the rest of us may have done.
