My mother's favorite saying was "If we were all the same, there would only need to be one of us." Why would we need more people like me? We have me. I want people better than me, because the reason for more people is to improve the country. The reason for more people is not to improve them...that's their country's reason.
@mkhammer My mom had me in her 40s. I'm in my 60s now. She lived to be 100, sharp, laughing, and drinking champagne all the way. Of course, I'm the 8th of 8 kids...
I adore all of the Ender books!! Way back in the day I worked at a Science Fiction bookstore in Chicago and you came to do a book signing. You signed my copy with the inscription, "This is the first copy of the paperback that I ever signed." It is my most treasured possession! Many years later, I married and you were a guest on my husband's radio show. Funny how the world works! Thanks for many years of memories...
@WilliamShatner I purchased one but there was no place to enter my x ID so I have no idea if I just tossed away my money. Hopefully it will work out...A10247...odd process...fingers crossed!
