(on/off/? topic) "GATA holds [Rarebird] in high esteem." The first time i heard a beautiful woman fart, I was shocked. From that point it was a long and unsettling time for i, as then i had to absorb the everyday facts of life that a woman, like a man, has near identical bowel movements initiated by the intact of solid food. "What happened, I thought" To what i was told at an early age that girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, and boy were made of yucky stuff like pollywog tails and puppie dog tails, etc. Which seemed correct, as everytime i farted etc that stuff appeared. Assumed i did, that what would be an outcome for girl in these matters would be rainbows perfume and colorful butterflys. Where i pee'ed fowl yellow'ed vinegar, girls i thought made sweet white wine. Yes, I was shocked. Then came the next "... is not as you were lead to believe." The focus here was smarts of Mankind, and since this was the 1950s where eventually those plastic credit cards did appear later, 60s or 70s, only a man was allowed, as in controlled by the banks, to own and use one, as banks did not allow any single woman to obtain one i heard, which seemed quite stupid to me since only 99% of females in the 50s and 60s used the man's income for room & board etc. and there had to be... etc etc etc. But here was the issue of IQ smarts of men, and yes i understood that some men did "stupid" things that ran counter to right & wrong, like rob a bank, but to me that was not an issue of smarts, and to me the bank robber that did not ever get caught had to be of the smart ones. But it was mentioned not so much to me, but by listening to grown-ups talking while i was nearby, which was quite an educational period for i since they thought i was like the rest of children oblivious to stuff children did not do or engage in, and since both my Mom & Dad totally grew-up on farms where facts of life in the birds & bees and what you do in action counts more than words, and especially the area that one can not fake it or cover a lie and get away with it, survival was reality encountered every day hours before the sun came up and lasted a few hours after the sun set. Lots of a cause & effect events for a farmer or a miner. Yes smarts helped, but it was not required for all, as in just so that one with smarts was in charge and this person, man or woman(my grandmother, mother's side) held a position of boss, everyone had their work/life task assigned and understood by all. Then the next "I was shocked." Folks in the city could lie and fake it and be successful. Not only that, but smart folks in the city can do dumb and stupid things without that "cause & effect" slapping them in the face. So now i have RareBird send me the following, and we all know he is eXtra smart in IQ, and he has obtained a high level of profession success just like Hutch has, as they both have told us many times, but i wonder like now, how did their smarts let out and onto this thread contained inside a post, certain words that... Yup, the effect is to cause me to shake my head back & forth on horizonial plane. Message #66067 from Rarebird at Mar 18, 2001 8:49 PM ... glad to see that GATA holds me [Rarebird] in high esteem. I'd be concerned if you [DougAK] felt otherwise. :)
