>Ohh I know..actually I tend to laugh at it, not in a nasty way. I come from what I imagine would be a somewhat "functional" family, but I honestly think it's the world that has become too "dysfunctional". (I know..don't blame it on the 'world'...). Just think...6-7 years ago, the world was close to peace in many areas...especially in Ireland and Israel...the economy was growing well. All of a sudden, people get nasty and individualistic, back to the "I have mine, and you can't touch it!!!" greed.
We can't exist like this, for we will never know peace and will anhillate ourselves. Godspeed to the ones who are trying to save us! (And my spite to the ones bent on destroying humankind in their own greed. <smirk>)
Thanks for the insights..:-)
