No there's no good answer. :) My friends have laughed at me that I would love to take this to court on the tax issue. All the more reason to have receipts showing where I paid said amount to the upkeep of my sorrounding land and schools. And I have for a long time thought as you, that times will change. I had problems with kids here but they were worked out with conversation and interchange. I just hope they become the stronger voice in time. The kids here can't understand why their parents hate me so. The freakiest was a teen boy who liked to hang out with me. His mom would make jokes when he'd come see me... icky sex jokes that grossed us both out. But she thought it fine to think of a woman in her 30's (I was young then ;) ) and a boy in his teens. But when he finally said, "dang, Mom, she's gay", his mom went nuts and forbid him to see me. Go figure. I know that's a rant and taking off from the original subject, but a bit relevant. If I was straight and feigning sex acts with Iraqi's, that's all cool. But if I am gay and treating them under the conditions of the Geneva Convention, not cool. hmmm, again. But how do explain to some people so that they get it... that the safest place for some displaced, sad teen boys here was the company of a gay woman... she wasn't a redneck male, and not a woman preying on them.
