Interesting. Here's mine: "Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, arrogant, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms."

Hi, Nemer! "Sweet Jesus," as you say, ... how have you survived with any remotely liberal attitudes in NE Texas? I dated a man originally from Paris, TX who fled to Dallas/Ft. Worth as soon as he could get out via college education/employment. He told me that in the late 40s, early to mid-50s that black people were regularly being lynched, and that there were some very public murders of blacks tied with rope behind vehicles and drug through the main street, I believe he said. Over and over again, to the cheers of bystanders, until they died. You know anything about that? Also, he told me that as recently as the early 60s, Paris, TX proudly displayed chamber-of-commerce-style banners over the streets leading into the place that said, "Welcome to Paris, Texas ... the whitest county in Texas" ... or something to that effect ... Boasting about having no minorites in residence there. It's bothered me ever since. Comments? As you're apparently a long-term inhabitant or native of the area? TIA, 'b-i-a' ###

Nemer - That was a fun profile. I don't know how accurate it is though. It said I am the Dreamer-Minstrel the positive optimist of the world who provides the hope for all humankind. There is nothing so terrible that you can not find some good within it. OK - "At least he doesn't want to take away my guns." That's about as optimistic as I can get about the prospect of 4 years of dubya. ... Mezz -

Surprisingly accurate: Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize.
