re: #168 buzzsawmonkey

Ah, thanks for the info on Palmer. I’ve read of the terrorist bombs in NYC, but had not heard of him.

As for this:

a need for working mothers having few children late in life to displace the guilt they felt for leaving their children with strangers in order to be able to pursue their careers. That was the reason, also, for the myth that the children “could not lie.”

What a crock (that idea, not your analysis). I’ve never met a kid that didn’t lie - nor has any babysitter, for that matter. As I recall, I got my first backside smack for lying when I was about 4 yrs old.
