I guess the lesson is that religion and social more’s can make you blind to the terrible things you do. … Actually thats not much of a new lesson at all >>

It became customary in the extended family to automatically disparage my achievements, choices, and associates. When I went to Cornell, the morons ridiculed it as a yankee-hippy school and compared it unfavorably to Texas Tech (My brother and I are the only ones among 13 grandchildren who finished ANY college). When I joined the army and became a commissioned officer, they had to disparage the whole officer corps, if not the whole army, (none of them served more than 4 years or rose above E-4). When I got my doctorate (at Texas Tech btw), they pointed out that I wasn’t really a doctor, just a glorified rock hunter.
Today, they wonder why I wouldn’t piss down their throats if their tonsils were on fire.
