You really told off your crazy father with this post. Good work!
Now this is funny - a guy that spent two years trying to learn how to
fly and working for room and board as kitchen help at a religious school
up in Iowa making fun of his dad for drinking alcohol. Go figure.

you took a tablespoon full and stuck a lit match to it, if it burned

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.

Re "Seems

field.":Not
hard to believe at all. 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?

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
