I can respect your level of sophistication and intellectual development and certainly admire you for trying to fulfill your humanitarian obligations. Maybe it would help some if you realized that while we all appear unequal, each of us has special talents or even needs that allow others to fulfill their humanitarian obligations. The handicapped and the retarded, even the unsophistated have hidden strengths that we cannot outwardly appreciate, we can only take on faith. We need not associate with a begger in the street, but we cannot know what brought him to that place, and we can appreciate his strength in sleeping under a newspaper on a chilly evening. I think you will find many people you can associate with comfortably, and you should find inspiration in reading Ann Rand's books. Caring about You - billieJ
