==================
 RH> Very true. There've been a number of high profile court cases in the

I imagine mental issues are a factor in most bad behaviors.
Some may posit the existence of an entity called "evil"; I
won't go any farther in a family echo than to say that 
mental illness sometimes seems to be caused by something
outside the ill person - whether that be evil spiritual,
collective unconscious harking back to primal amorality,
or infectious disease, who knows.

 RH> Doesn't sound like you've got a whole lot of relatives you see much of
 RH> anyway. What about friends of your parents?

[snork] You're positing some normality someplace. My mother
had no friends, permanently alienating everyone at one point
or another; not as bad as her twin, who alienated everyone but
also had a disturbing tendency to chase people out of the house
with a knife, or so I am told. My father's friends are mostly
dead, and they didn't tend to have any truck with me as they
wanted me to be a famous cancer researcher like my father,
only more so; they were sorely disappointed after I told
them that the best way to combat cancer was to get rid of the
internal combustion engine.

 RH> You're in the air so much.

Two or three years of my life, when I'm done. On the other
hand, many people drive that much, and I've driven probably
5 to 10 hours total in my entire life and have no plans for
doing so again.
 
 ML> Comes of flying in coach, I suppose.
 RH> That's the only way we fly.

That's the only way most people fly. I am fully conscious of
my being very lucky; having been in the right place at the
right time a large percentage of the time; and knowing enough
about the system to maneuver myself into the "the rich get
richer" niche in the frequent-flyer system; would that I
could be as astute with money.

 RH> Now that looks good! I guess we'd have to make up both a soy and a

Actually, all kinds of sauces work with satays.
