Aviatrix is cute, like an aviatrix would be. It’s fine. > [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > How old are you\*\* Inigo\*\*? > > Do you feel more or less privileged than when you were, say, 21? 1. Things are better now, generally. I just wish I’d known how immune I was to law enforcement back when I had the energy to exercise my privilege to the fullest. I was well educated and from a good family, so the world was pretty much my oyster. Now it’s more of a lobster bisque. > [@NetTrekker](#): > > Inigo Montoya? Are you sure you’re a W.M.A.? Racist. Spaniards are technically white. > [@kopek](#): > > :smack: Now you gone and started a Dozens. You just HAD to bring his momma into this. :smack: > 😃 **Nava** is exempt from the Dozens. I can’t top anything I’ve heard about her momma. \*\*\* I had planned to go full-on Ignorant White Guy in responding, but I chickened out. I never said I wasn’t a coward. Just a WMA. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > _What point were you trying to make?_ The OP is not formatted in such a way as to make any point. It is an invitation to those with an interest to respond, no matter how tangentially, as they see fit with either a question or a comment. The universe simply is. There is nothing intrinsically beautiful or harrowing in it apart from what is seen through the mental filters imposed by the minds of observers. If something speaks to you, speak back. If not, why stop? ---
