In the kudzu-draped south of my youth, we boys were taught to be considerate of others' property, and their business, and their feelings among other things. To be otherwise was to be of low-account, common. Wealth had exactly zero consequence to one's character assessment. Have a look at "To Kill a Mockingbird" where a boy visits at the supper table and is amazed at having syrup (not sorghum but cane syrup, thank you very much) available. He proceeds to drizzle it all over his plate to the voiced amusement of Gem and to his visible embarrassment. Atticus takes the pitcher and with a wink to the boy, does the same to his plate.<br />Is that sort of consideration an age or gender related thing? State the circumstances of the letter and conduct a survey of the 50 men aged 50 and above and another aged 30 and below and ask how to address the matter. <br />How would they compare? Change that to 50 women in the same age groups. Would geography make a difference? Dan Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306436521768077821noreply@blogger.com
