The whole therapists are people too thing baffles me - while it may be true - I just don't see what it has to do with anything.
Soylent green is people. I think I am going to add that to my signature.
I am not into holding hands with anyone. It makes me feel trapped. I don't do it as much as possible with lovers, small children (unless I am the only adult around and there is no escaping it), or the dogs (paws) and so forth - but some others seem to enjoy it. To each their own.
