My hope is that we're an intermediate generation before the veneer of perfection is finally release. What I mean is that there seems to exist the assumption amongst most people that they secretly have failings and weaknesses that others don't have, so if they hide them then nobody will know. At the same time BECAUSE each person has their failings they, to some degree or another, look for perfection in others. We demand it from our politicians. Basically we demand role models. The politicians (and others) are faking it, of course, but some people don't seem to realize that ... This delusion seems more common in the US than in, say, Europe in my experience. They seem to view people more like we might, say, Britney: wow! what a freak, what loon, but she seems better now and that was good song so ok. Annnnyyyway ... that's all a long way of saying that I'm hoping the delusion of perfection in others goes away once everyone's private lives are on the inter-google. As someone famous said (Russian? ... Checkov?): each family that is unhappy is unhappy in it's own unique way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:294611 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
