I was going to say how reading about Blavatsky exploits and writings
and nerve, just cracks me up. She is the most comical thing I have
ever seen or read. I never tire of her works. Just when I think I
have read everything I find a new gem that makes me laugh until my
head hurts. Just thought of the leg episode....
Anyway, as for race, it's like 'when in Rome...' it is merely a tool
to help classify and help others to understand themselves, their
talents, interests, and shortcomings. It was never meant to be a
deterent to leave anyone behind. I think races take turns sleeping,
like the sleeping giant metaphor. That's all, nothing more.
