In real life when you talk to people they aren't stupid. You assume
that the culture can't be changed, but quite a number of people are
working at that very thing.

Her factoring that in made good sense to me. I don't want a man on the
place who isn't going to pull his weight. When I married Jim, he was
pulling his weight just fine, but I'd never take on a husband who
started out in the condition that Jim ended up in. OTOH, I never would
have abandoned Jim. We can pick our battle though.
I don't watch TV, but I watch selected stuff via the Internet. If a TV
program gets great reviews I get the CDs via NetFlix. I read about the
Sopranos for several seasons before I got the first season.
