I am happy to live in Amsterdam, a town which is still a free place for=20= all. I have grown up in an atmosphere of tolerance and I have grown to=20= like a multi cultural society. I think most people on the list understand what I am saying and more or=20= less feel the same. There are however always those who have had no experience in accepting=20= anything or anybody who is different from their smallish world. These people literally have a small conscience and a narrow mind. You=20 can hardly blame them for their narrow minded behavior, it is just a=20 nuisance and it can hurt. I therefor show my face here to tell you that I have always liked your=20= witty letters and your sharp mind. Please keep on being what you do and what you are. Your friend and fellow human.
