Yes.

People are people. Brains are brains.
Hearts are hearts.

Yup.

Wouldn't it be a cryin' shame if there was a South-African
Black person or Samoan or Mauri or Fijian Picasso/Einstein/
Menhuin/(Frank Lloyd) Wright who never got to live up to
their potential because Society determined they must go through
the motions of playing rugby in order to entertain other people?

Nope.

I just live in the world, among my fellow people,
with whom I feel right at home.

You should come on up here to Vancouver. Meet people
and socialize. It's very easily done, here.


cheers,
Tom
