I never intentionally meant to hijack any thread - especially "maggieblanchett's".
Or to downplay the seriousness of her plight.
Thank you Dave M for informing me of something I was not aware of "your uncanny ability to attempt to highjack". Without sarcasm - Do you apply your ability to recognize hijacking to everyone or have I personally upset you - If so - I apologize.
But I am as HUMAN as everybody else and reacted (maybe too quickly) to a challenge of my BEING.
I am hurting, my feelings are raw - over this; and confused - but wish to learn and willing to follow where this might lead as much as I can.
I will repeat the presumed hijack and be gone!

1. all human beings collectively; the human race; humankind.
2. the quality or condition of being human; human nature.
3. the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence.
YES! I AM.
It is MY HUMANITY from which I speak - I am sorry you interpret it differently.
I echo KathyH - "This is interesting to me because I felt like everyone here was down on me for being one of the "there's a dark side to Puna" voices on maggie's thread. I felt bummed for like two days at being perceived as so extremely negative when I was only trying to balance out the extreme rose colored glasses (to my mind)."
Question my - Patriotism - Religion - Politics - WHATEVER!
BUT:
to question - if I am a part of the collective, the race - HUMANKIND.
to question - if I possess the quality or condition of being - HUMAN.
to question - if I possess the quality of being HUMANE; of being KIND; of being
BENEVOLENT.
You have gone to FAR!
