So maybe it's not a matter of turning putting blinders on, but taking them off. Now how do you see the guy in the sports car? What do you think he could be saying to himself? That couple is so happy together, they won't even move to let me thru. They are probably jealous of my car. They don't know I can barely afford it... you never know. But I think you did a smart thing in talking it over here. PC can be like group therapy. So the blinders are that we see the world the way we saw our family, or the way our family saw the world. Like always picking on us, or discounting our opinion (a biggie for me!). When really, like stuart smily said on Saturday night live, I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me! repeat !
