We were curious so we walked over, went in and just looked around. We stuck out like sore thumbs. EVERYONE was in costume. Very weird. They didn't charge us to get in. There were tons of tables filled with merchandise you could buy of course. If you remember the original Star Wars bar scene with all the strange and creepy critters? Well that's what was there. We left. We were way out of place. The one and only SCIFI convention I ever attended. Don't know if my kid ever attended another one as an adult. I didn't ask. It was a very discombobulating experience. Ever been to one? less

They aren't responsible for any of it. It is their capacities/inadequecies/strenghs that determine all and they have no control over it whatsoever. They had no choice. They were born that way. D'ya suppose we should cut one another some slack since we aren't responsible for what/whom we are? If you must place blame with anyone blame the first set of parents whose DNA set the template. How far back do we go? As far as we hafta go which is? less

Moving about furiously industriously self-importantly but are trapped and being watched by one another and perhaps "others"? Are ants better off all things considered?
