Joanie, I am amazed that I have been a regular FReeper since 2000, and I don't recall encountering one of your lucid, eloquent, and thoughtful posts until now. Nicely Done!!!

Consider it a high compliment that I believe this piece puts you in that tiny and rarified group of FR thinkers/writers that includes my Dear Sisters, betty boop and Alamo-Girl.

Believe me, I will be watching our for your essay-posts from now on -- because you absolutely nailed this one!

With sincere respect,

TXnMA

Oh...and, BB, thanks for the ping!

Joanie’s the “real thing,” TXnMA! I love to read her too!

I haven't felt so profoundly complimented in recent memory. What an honor to share such sterling company!

Sincere thanks, TXnMA.
