...whom are now treated like second-class citizens!" She never became more vocal than that-however, influencing all who knew her far more with her peerless manners, her personal faith and her subtle wisdom in her relationships with others. Perhaps this is Aunt Tabby-ism, but if self-esteem is the expressed goal of the feminists, they could find it in my mother's approach, as European women have known for generations...

Page has a much better grasp of the organically developing long line than Eric Clapton, whose style of repetitious punctuation suggests a less sentient man. But Cream was organized around...
