Dear readers, Apparently, there are some who do not understand persecution and poverty. A simple suggestion. Read up on eugenics, intolerance, and the use of religion to support political agendas. Finally, I admit, we weren't that poor that we couldn't dig a hole in the ground. But a hole in the ground is a lot different from the luxury of an outhouse (one is a hole in the ground, the other comes with walls and a roof that keep away the elements- to a degree- made from wood with a seat). As for where I grew up, close your eyes, spin a globe and put your index finger on it to stop it. More likely than it'll land on a spot where outhouses are common. The fact that people are unaware of these things just shows how little business we have in interfering in other countries and their ways. ]]>

"Having spent the first 6 years of my life (when basic lessons are learned and lifelong imprints are made) in a place where outhouses were considered luxuries..." Outhouses were luxuries? You were too poor to dig a hole in the ground? Where did you grow up? ]]>

You should have thanked her for the help with the toilet paper and then for the lesson in bigotry. ]]>

You sound far too defensive for your own good. Why can't a kindly grandmother type not only tell you what toilet paper to buy but also invite you to her church (if that was where she was headed) without offending. Would you have felt better had she rudely dismissed you as a threat to her safety? Perhaps you would have felt better had she called the store manager asking for protection from one who "benches" 425# and is improperly clad for shopping in a "muscle tank top." ]]>
