Some societies where able to elevate themselves above the average and contributed a lot to today civilization in ALL of America’s counties with a variety of successes or failure. Best example would be someone born to a revolutionary refugee that fled China to avoid persecution and born in Trinidad Tobago and raised to the lofty position of being the first FM of the new China and KMT, even that his mother was steadfastly against him marrying a woman attorney - as in her opinion "a hen is supposed to lay eggs and not take the position of a rooster" Some time ago I worked with an engineer who said he lost everything in one day during the war that happened in Serbia. I had just moved to Calgary after leaving a job (because things looked to be slowing down) drafting storage tanks in Nisku and found myself at a subsidiary of a company that built mobile vehicles. I wasn't there long when after a dispute with my direct supervisor over how to properly communicate welding instructions I was moved downstairs to work with this engineer and I liked how we worked together. He often said to me, "No problems, only solutions." He worked hard, I had confidence in him, his instructions, and his changes to the work he allocated to me. It was very clear that I was not to send any work to the shop without it going through him first. He also encouraged me to talk to the people in the shop, such as the shear operator, about how they wanted to be instructed. I had the impression this engineer wasn't liked by the people upstairs, also that the people upstairs were not involved with creating the instructions for the projects we worked on. When I was changing to this job I had no idea where I was going to sleep in Calgary as the media was saying rental availability was very low there, my plan was to use a motel until I could find a place. Two days before I moved, the engineering manager phoned me offering a place to stay with someone they hired a month earlier from Winnipeg who had found a place bigger than he needed.

Columbus.. is best forgotten .. a pox on humanity as to bastards.. I was raised Catholic... I have encounters many Born Agains.. who seem to think that accepting the Lord into their heart gives them free reign... They will mock Catholics for the right of Confession and Penance.. while they just bypass it :) (I am not religious.. spiritual yes) So nack to the bastards.. I was in a Chinese Catholic Mission school kindergarten to grade three... Montreal slums (China town and other poor folk.. likely the least racist environment in the city) .. Nuns taught us.. They must have all been heretics LOL.. when I questioned.. why would good people go to Hell just because they never heard of the Bible... (say first nations or Africans, bear in mind this is 60 years ago) The nuns said .. do not worry .. if they are good people they will go to Heaven anyway .. They may wait awhile in Purgatory before getting in .. a sort of vetting process... but the good regardless will go to heaven .. of course this is heresy LOL.. Those friggin' nuns were tough but progressive... I also went to Jesuit HS.. I am blessed that I never saw any abuse.. nor were any of my schools ever suspect...
