Yes, Pam, the story is kind of funny on the face of it, but think of someone bringing human beings over for display in a zoo! It feels a little like the days of capturing apes and such and bringing them back. I know the times were vastly different, but this seems beyond even the intrinsic cruelty of slavery to me. Paid sideshow participants are one thing, but they have a choice, unlike these poor souls. You and I had basically the same childhood, and I mean no disrespect or censure. Stan
