Friends of mine raised a child similar in appearance to those girls, although most of his brain never developed. "Just a feather on the left side in his skull," his mother said. He wasn't able to control his body even to the extent that the girls did.
Yet, when he was about 9, I picked him up and carried him around, and he laughed great, pealing belly laughs. He loved to be held and carried arounf, and I loved to hold him. I felt such joy, doing so.
His IQ might have been nil, but he was in there. This particular boy made his soul and personality known--on a gut level! And, for his 11 years, he gave his family and friends much joy.

D K I guessed Switzerland. Yay me! Your country is tiny, culturally homogenous, and not above sitting on its hands while your fellow Europeans wallow in their own blood. Not impressed . . . my people emigrated from Belgium, Germany, Norway and Sweden, and, with the possible exception of Norway, those countries are currently letting the barbarian walk in, unopposed. The United States works fairly well for such a huge country because its citizens are united in a common philosophical creed. It may very well survive the current crisis by virtue of the fact that citizens are armed. It may look ugly while the crisis unfolds, but then, we are a sprawling multiracial nation. We are not the insular Swiss. Switzerland would never "scale up" to something even remotely as vibrant and multifarious as the United States.

D K The violence in my country is largely confined to economic behavioral sinks in large cities, including in the northern city of my birth, known as America's Berlin for all the Germans who landed there. My city was also once renowned for its orderliness and kept electing socialist mayors throughout the 1960s. Now, parts of it, including my old north side neighborhood, are shooting galleries. They became crime-infested with the rise of dependency culture in the 1960s. It's such a shame. As for me, I don't ever have to lock my doors, either. At least part of the reason for this safety is that my state, traditionally as progressive as California once was, is positively bristling with firearms, from hunters to farmers to people like me with a revolver in her purse and another in her car. Miscreants just never know when they will be met with a bullet, and so they tend to behave themselves.
