I agree with you.

And I also am fascinated by CH, whom I knew when he was still in his first incarnation and still the handsomest man in the universe and still married to his first wife. He always drank a lot, but he looks alarmingly the worse for alcohol now, and I feel sad when I see him (only on TV recently), though fascinated, always. I'm sorry I missed him on Scarborough, he is never not forceful and is never not first class entertainment.

I am very well, thank you! I've just been busy or away, but not so busy I don't drop in here to read sometimes -- enough to enjoy or marvel (or go "oh yuck"), but not enough to get really caught in the flypaper. SI is in some ways very novel-like, more and more so, in its inadvertent effects, as time passes, and the plot-trajectories lengthen and become more complex, or maybe I mean convoluted, and character manifests and reveals itself through actions and words. What *kind* of novel is it, would be a question. I guess each character would write a different descriptive blurb of the 'novel' we're all writing...

"I myself am terrified about the spread of Islam in Europe and America because of the way they treat women and girls. I am not sure what we can do about that."

As far as the US goes, there are 7 million of them and 283 million of us, which puts the odds slightly in our favor.

I don't think it is something of which you should be terrified.
