Are you serious the Library does not have a copy of the Hemings book? I will write the author and just ask her to donate one to the library, if not I will consider donating mine when I am done!? It is not just businesses that are failing during the recession, families are too...welcome to my world..Shelley

I cannot wait to see someone's (anyone's) response to this post, which, 
written with no hint of hatred and certainly no rush to judgment poses a 
valid question in its last sentence. In a stroke of intuitive genius the 
writer, one "Tree Mother," may have answered her own question in its 
first two words.?
?

I love this list. Erudite posts seem to indicate a membership far ahead 
of the evolutionary curve until disagreement breaks out, proving that 
the curve is actually a U-turn.?

Please keep this (or any) thread going: it's better than television.?
