uh oh now I'm really blushing.
second hijack then.
When I was growing up in the 60's, I learned to love Sherlock Holmes and Spock. I thought then as I do today that reasoning things out is better than emotional debate. The ability to use logic, seemed to me, a way to figure out who I was as well as not get blamed for things I did not do or credit for what I did. Remember this is childhood. As I got older the idea that logic and reason and science could be used to find truth was a big thing for me.
Therefore the avatar of a character I respect. I still think that if people used logic instead of trained upbringing that they would or should be able to see who we are without letting preconceived notions infect their decisions on how to treat us. By us I mean any who have been through discrimination whether that be race, religion , or or trans issues.
I could go on but I am not the most talented in getting my thoughts into written words. I do hope I have been able to get my basic thought through however.
Janet,
Your pic reminds me of a free spirited woman who knows what she wants but has to be reminded now and then that you are beautiful in your own right. If I am wrong I apologize. I do love the way you seem to be able to mediate many disagreements on these forums and can see you going far in human relations. (Unfortunately you already have a special someone so I can't have you here.) Bummer. Thanks for all your kind words.
