-Caveat Lector-
I guess that old Southern gospel song has it right:
"there's POWER, POWER in the BLOOD!..."
While we're on the subject--there's a private biomedical operation here in
town (Fargo) that is rather odd. They are very interested in collecting
blood samples from the area's Scandanavian population. Quite a few of the
local university students frequent the place on a weekly basis. Everytime
they make a donation, they receive twenty dollars.
Since our area boasts quite a few blue-eyed blond "Nordics," their blood
seems to be at a premium in the blood collecting biz.
When I made a delivery to the place, I was met by some
Teutonic types who were DEFINITELY not very friendly. There was a
large Germanic-looking woman frowning at me as I looked around--the kind
who would have made a perfect extra in SCHINDLER'S LIST. Of course, since
I'm six-feet-two, olive complexioned, with dark-brown hair, I guess
Brunhilde thought I looked like a candidate for the camps.
It might be just my usual paranoia-- I subscribe to CTRL, don't
I? :) -- still, I had the distinct impression that something wasn't
quite right.
Also, for such a rock-solid Norwegian Lutheran area, it seems to have
more than its share of missing children. Hmmmmm....
