[Leica] [OM] Ancient Sicilian Greek pottery

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I blissfully give the Puritans a taste of nature working on the next
generation, now and then! Not that many acknowledge it.....

I wonder why we have been indoctrinated to view something so natural and
critical to any species as something shameful and full of guilt? A power
play by religion to control the great unwashed?

Cheers
Jayanand
