Yes, Janice, even though it's really hard sometimes, I think we all need to try to stay on the high road, becasue sometimes the people we alienate are the ones that need us most (and I'm not just talkiing about this list) I try to be kind in all my dealings with people and animals but sometimes a button is pushed and it's impossible to not be a little snide and maybe hostile. After I do that, though, I always feel crappy because I think this might be a person that really needed me to approach them in a calm, reasonable manner to help them understand. Also, though, I realize a lot of social change has only come about because people have been willing to put it all on the line. It's a hard balancing act but the struggle is worth it if you can help bring about change for the good-- let's all just keep striving to find the way. Laree
