No matter how much inventions and innovations are made still human’s behaviour is as it was in the stone age.

I’m now 69 and to my knowledge, never been treated any different than those around me. Maybe I’ve been living in la-la land and have just never noticed being treated differently. Now you have me wondering.

Oh, wait, a long time ago (in the 70’s), I was held up at the border trying to cross into Balize from Mexico. I had a very long beard and long hair and looked very much like a typical “hippie”. They also saw a Yugoslavia stamp in my passport too. After some very fast talking and a little grease, they let me pass on through.

Actually, I think there are more variables to take into consideration, like age and culture. Were you smiling?

I’m on my way to the Philippines in a couple weeks and will now be on guard for noticing if I’m treated differently. Gee thanks. It’s Just what I needed, one more thing to worry about. lol
