Please—no more cheap clothes, splintering
furniture, lint-covered carpets, moldy bathroom sinks or chili-encrusted
microwaves. For the allure of a little time and money saved,
our generation has forfeited the sense of propriety that would
contribute to a higher quality of life. Only recently did the distinction
between my own standards and those of the women born a few generations
before
me, become obvious. I spent a recent Sunday visiting my 83-year-old
great aunt and her 92-year-old friend and I was amazed by how neatly

some evidence that will stand up in a court of law? Could it be
that some of those men might be innocent victims caught up in the
turbulence of war?More>> |
