[pct-l] Legal Ponderings......

[Tortoise]

Getting a little farther off list topic but still relevant I think.

What we look for in other people, we often find. If we look for hostility, 
we find it. If we look for friendliness, we find it. Often, not always.

I too refuse to live my life in fear and not do anything. Of course staying 
home is dangerous too! OTOH, I evaluate situations and decide if something 
is too risky.  And no matter how wise and careful, adverse stuff happens.
