Boy, YM...you really get to the crust of the matter...you delve so deep and come up with all this sage wisdom....I love it!
The whole thing about the Soviet Union was quite insightful...you really had my head thinking....thanks!
I too know someone who is the youngest of 10 kiddies...and he has some wonderful stories to tell...I am the youngest of 5 girls and I treasure the memories of growing up with them.
The whole thing about Columbo having children, and in the past..siblings, is well taken....that is the basis of a well grounded childhood...how wonderful....the murderers, as you say, are probably too self-centered to have had children.....let alone a big family, with lots of kiddies.....I have to admit that my husband and I have our "one and only", Alby, but he is more than any parent could ever ask for....he is the best....he is my buddy!!!

....oh...and neither my husband nor I have murdered anyone....

I'm glad to hear that!

This is why I like Columbo and the Rockford
Files so much, besides being "entertainment", there is a lot of social commentary and psychology presented. The writers for these programs were well-educated people and quite knowledgable about history and society.

The Great Santini had a daughter in Now You See Him

jay!!! excellent!! I forgot all about that!!

Don't forget that he disowned
her because of his fantasies
of racial purity when she started
dating Danny Green who is a Jew
(this was discussed in another
thread).

we won't forget, YM!

Thanks Jay. I forgot about Now You See Him, as well as It's All In the Game, in my original list.
