You're so right in that we were forced to keep quiet about anything and everything, unless it was in line with the gustapos (sp?). Now we can talk freely and sometimes it just goes overboard cause we're so happy to be able to disagree. We have to learn the balance and also realize when it is our own baggage that is the problem. The coordinators here what to make sure no one feels bridled and are able to express themselves freely, yet at the same time not turn things so hot and heavy that people get hurt. It's a fine balance, isn't it? I really appreciate your humility here, Goth. You're a fine person. I read a little editorial recently about the problem of people nowadays being over confident and with too much self esteem. We leaving the COG and having no self esteem, rather we're in the minus category, find that hard to fathom. Think Bill Clinton and CEOs of major corps. These people have such big egos that they didnt' care who they walked on if it meant things would be better for them. So, I think there is something to be said for a little humility once in awhile.
