ric,
it is not your place to tell me what I have to come to peace with. That's just patronizing, and I don't appreciate it.
Reality is reality, but you don't get to tell me how I have to feel. You don't know me at all.
The lecture on rentals was unnecessary.
As for my lunch with John Rabi, the two of us were there; you weren't, not your business to try to understand what we talked about.
It was an interesting experiment sharing some personal information. Kind of a litmus test.
What I see is that some people are very comfortable with "they" and what "they" did, and lumping people into groups. I'm sure that's a good way to talk about trends.
However I think it shows an inability to understand individuals. It creates a world of people who are responsible (you the judgers) and irresponsible (everybody who makes mistakes). Great if it makes you feel good, but I dislike all this smugness, and righteousness, and I would dislike it whatever position I happened to be in. [
