*Interesting point Roy. If I spell the name wrong, I apologize ahead of time. A man named Abehshera (he wrote a cookbook back in the early 1970's on macrobiotics) said way back then that it was getting harder and harder to find a free man in our society. (he lived in Upstate NY at the time)

It really is harder and harder to think and act "outside the box" nowadays. Consider Malls and franchises and fast food etc (the song Little Boxes comes to mind for those who remember that old folk tune) and all the labels we place on one another, willingly and unwillingly like what our race is, our gender, our religious groups name, what we do for a living etc etc And these labels define how others view us and at times how we view ourselves.

And there is no "bad" or "good" here, but it is something to consider, perhaps, as to the choices we make within the context of our lives.
