Re: Cris M/Lou D
Cultures have differences, but I think some things are wrong no matter what the culture says. Slavery was once a cultural norm, but people within that culture still condemned it at the time. Marrying your daughter to the landlord for financial gain was once the norm in almost every western nation, but people spoke out against that then as well. It isn't black or white, you're right. At bottom, it's what Sam thinks it is. Her opinion is the only opinion that matters. But I still think it was wrong.
I did just meet my biological parents for the first time. There would have been a tizzy even if they'd been charming, kind, and well-adjusted.
