Katy and I just now enjoyed your photographs Mikiro.  Katy lived a
year in Germany many years ago and had visited some of the places you
have photographed.

Some of us did not respond to what others were saying because of past
experiences in cyberspace we have learned to accept people for what
they are.  I "enjoy" hearing what other people are really thinking.  I
have made many people mad myself and had to apologize and explain what
I met many times.  Usually one_on_one off the list sometimes requiring
many exchanges.

I have determined that the best policy, actually I learned this
wintering over on the ice for a couple years, that it is good policy
to encourage everyone to say what they are thinking and instead of
jumping on them when they do to post better ideas and truths.

The information age that we are participating in requires new skills
and mindsets.  Being "politically correct" is not a good idea in my
book.   But being honestly accepting of other cultures is a good idea.
And I think this will happen more and more as we participate in these
new ways of communicating.  Communicating with people living all over
the world.     Dale
