About 15 head-scarfed women sit around in the sunny afternoon park surrounded by children, while Euro women rush to and from work/daycare in the town of c.5,000 where I live. Euro women work to survive, muslim women are supported by husbands.. supplemented by taxes paid in by the Euro women. A US (probably christian) woman asked if the Euro woman can take her parks back. I wouldn't know. The Vatican is certainly involved and they're still the boss for now.

All our children play together, they're friendly and learn from each other. My daughter plays cards with internationals; Brazilian, Moroccan, African, Egyptian etc. I had Japanese, Indian and Eurasian friends at the same age (in the southern hemisphere).

The 'new age' is very real, tradition must be released, not just ours but theirs too.

I never did all-in career, but used the hubris-filled, gauntlet-throwing 'Fuck you God' technique, alternately obeying and commanding. Grateful to confirm it works.

The clarity you offered on the Western mind was very helpful for me, thank you. I've felt very frustrated at my fellow Westerners for their tendency to tear down any and all "Chesterton's fence" they stumble across -- but, as you help me see, it's a feature, not a bug.

Thanks for the clarity.
