the Old Man had someone who would occasionally deliver - I would get home from school and there would be a quart Lipton Instant Ice Tea glass jar with a clear liquid in it - the Old Man would scoop it up and enjoy - I told him he was crazy and would go blind from drinking bad likker - he claimed his connection used an all copper still and if you took a tablespoon full and stuck a lit match to it, if it burned with a blue flame that meant it was pure - he demonstrated and it did burn with a blue flame but I was not convinced enough to try any, although my brother and I would threaten to drink it all up. The Old Man told us if we were man enough to drink it, we were welcome to it, but we never did. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 10/17/13, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

I have very different attitude to blacks than did my grandparents because they knew next-to-nothing about blacks never having met one! I - and no doubt you - have worked alongside blacks - and other races - and know that some can be complete arseholes, some can be regular folks and some can be generous, warm-hearted and attractive. Our knowledge has expanded and that has had a corresponding effect on our outlooks. Genetics isn't fatalistic destiny - unless we're talking ginger hair and skin tone - but it can modify our tendencies. The interesting thing about the article I linked to is that it suggests your behaviour can tweak your descendents' characteristics. Never tried moonshine; is it any good? ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote: seems hard to believe - my grandpap drank copious amounts of moonshine and hated black folks as did my pappy, but those decisions have not made their way into my energy field. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 10/16/13, s3raphita@... <s3raphita@...> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] Think of the children To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2013, 9:16 PM We’ve long been told our genes are our destiny. But it’s now thought they can be changed by habit, lifestyle, even finances. What does this mean for our children? Your bad habits – smoking, overeating – can be passed onto your offspring, and even further down the hereditary line. Or, put another way: your grandfather was making lifestyle decisions that affect you today.http://tinyurl.com/qhso6vx The Lord is long suffering . . . visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation.
