i had to google Jeffrey Macdonald.

after this afternoon and what i saw with four young kids (teens) and then reading the couple of threads redqueen put up, i had a very long conversation with my two boys today. i am just hitting the surface. and it goes so beyond the whole disney princess thing. but, i have my own issue with those. i am gonna google and read mk ultra later. thanks for what you posted. may even have to check out the beauty myth....

wow.

thanks for taking the time to post this. a lot to think about.
