Grat survey, good answers.
I did cry at 9/11, but not because strangers died.
I can’t believe you don’t believe in heroes, tho…sometimes there really are purely true amazing heroes.
Sometimes.

Mercy. Sometimes you play at things that are darker than I can handle. Makes me flinch. Does this please you?

I don’t believe I would call it ‘play’. And no, I don’t mean to make you flinch.
I’m just curious which things did give you pause.

Well, um, killing, death, you know, even hypothetical. I’m fine with the spirits (liquid and ethereal
and aliens yes or no. This list just seemed so… dire. My aversion to it and your attraction to it is what makes us intewesteen individuals. I’m just sayin’… whew, dark. *g*
