-Caveat Lector-
At least you gave the city a shot. All the problems you encountered FIT into the
scheme of things everywhere, realize. All of em were weird. All of em had
different personas UNDER these masks. The great thing about NYC is that you had
the availability of being alone and partly accepted on those terms. In other
cities alone usually means OUT, completely. NYC is, I believe now, a city of
loners -- who have found that their arts and details to living are left often
alone. In other cities and areas, one's life can become the focus of everyone
around the individual -- and therefore an albatross, unless the individual sinks
into the quietly unassuming abyss. In NYC, not so. People do generally mind
their own business. At least this has been my observation after living there 10
years (1980 - 1990). Judith

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
