more scatalogical talk

One of Kate's classmates kept asking her if she ate rice, if all the chinese in the world ate rice and how much rice did the Chinese eat. Finally Kate said that she was a spokesperson for the x#billion chinese in the world. Good answer. Puts closed to one episode of racial bullying.

But I just read another example of how to deal with this in which you make the example to your kids that bullies equate to poop. and what do you do when you see poop? Or smell poop? You walk away. So you walk away from bullies of any stripe. Even when the bullies are black, too.

Reminds me of how we dealt with nightmares when Kate was much younger and that was to shout: Get out of my Dreams. And at anytime she felt threatened she would say that: Get out of My dreams. We used to walk the dogs at night and kick all the garbage bags lined up on the street for the trash guys and shout: Get Out of My Dreams.

worked like a charm. That and pretending your mind is like a television channel and when you have a nightmare, you just change the channel.

But how would you do that if you lived in a society where you could be challenged at any moment about who and what you are. What police state might you be living in. We've talked alot recently about this new Arizona law and feel that illegal immigration is illegal. But just walking down the street in casual clothes with a darker skin should not qualify you for a show of identification.
