Speaking of war plague the butchery of children and mass death generally. An old radio pal mentioned that he was always amazed at my feelings about other races religions cultures. In that I didn't seem to have specific hostilities. Well, I'm not remotely angelic. I'm a grumpy Queer Anarchist from way back. I can't stand certain individuals. However, going after whole races religions or nations is just too damned much work. I'd rather throw pies at people one at a time. ...way more fun.

Anyway, my ma my extended family traditions had much to do with my attitudes. I'm from a multi-ethic family of many colors. A lot of that in this country...more all the time.

As a child I thought a mommy could have a baby of any color. This seemed to be happening before my eyes as my new cousins showed up. I thought all mommies were having babies of all the colors. No one in my family told me otherwise. With this as a given, we all turned out as we are.

'Hate asparagus though.

Most of my bigotry seems confined to vegetables.
