Are you drowning in the shallow end of the gene pool, dear?

Well - Indiana Jones during University worked for 8 years during the nightshift in a hospital supervising also two floors with handicapped people.

The fact that I can ( You are darn right) stay in the Four Seasons nowadays, if I wanted to, is based upon some rather hard work with exactly the people whom you claim I discriminate against with yet another taken out of context phrase.

Fact is, that I did see a lot of the same bitterness you display, but, as opposed to you, who definitely originated from the aforementioned shallow end of the gene pool, Susan, these people eventually faced their challenges and ended up victorious over themselves.

This post is not a response to a lost case, but just an expresson of respect to all handicapped people who overcame the urge to lash out.

Italy is one of my favorite countries and for the sake of the ones who have not managed to see this wonderful place and meet its great people, it shall besaid that Susan is not - and I repeat - not representative. She is just one mother of a sick puppy, very much a tiny irrelevant exception to the rule....

Well, I think I am going to have ghnocci ai gorgonzola tonight and flush it down with a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio.

I remain, sending you, Susan a broad smile plus a cordial handsign ( back of the Fist with pointer and pinky extended) in the true manner of Italy's famous sign language :-)

If you are true Italian, I am sure you can appreciate my effort to honor your culture and origin, but certainly also your niveau.
