[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 661587, member: 17269"] When I was a kid I read a GREAT book called Mistress Malapert. It was about a young woman in Elizabethan England who wanted to be an actor, so she pretended to be a boy. She was very successful, but was eventually found out and suffered consequences. She thought they were too harsh. The theme of the book...if you cross boundaries, break rules or morays...you don't get to pick the consequences, or even the magnitude of the consequences. It isn't like paying a price...you don't get to weigh the price vs the action. You break the rules..some one else picks the consequences. That is life. That was a valuable lesson for a young girl. Just sharing. Echo [/QUOTE]
