Once I read Joseph Campbell in university my profs threw up their academic hands. I had jewish patriarchs talking to white buffaloes, the artisans of Lascaux making suggestions for the Sistine Chapel and Baron Munchausen slipping through Area 51. It's the lessons and examples that are important. Trying to care for others at your own survival detriment is like the lady who was feeding so many pidgeons she wound up in hospital from malnutrition. I have a squirrel with paralysed rear legs outside my apt. He and my cat think they're brothers. I have to help feed the lousy squirrel or my cat poops in my riding boots. I compensate by yelling ( in squirrel talk) at all the other squirrels <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />You don't neccessarily have to provide dust masks to every victim of a evacuating building. Just have a good flashlight to lead by example <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
