Also often it is the people around (family) that suffers. <br /><br />I agree that the rich ones collect things that are the treasures of many museums. Many are just toys like at the Forbes Galleries in NY. Thank goodness for that too.<br /><br />What this MOMA exhibit chronicled is the poverty the people suffered in that era.Cockroach Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440000294855006966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629209057489249999.post-41753160668257245742009-08-11T19:01:57.827-04:002009-08-11T19:01:57.827-04:00Fascinating!

What about people who rescue animals compared to the "crazy cat lady".Toni Brayer, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258759363309666629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629209057489249999.post-26839755831886918732009-08-07T17:23:03.809-04:002009-08-07T17:23:03.809-04:00He is a fool then.

Wonder if I can make the most of them.<br />I like what you said that as a result of many children growing up in unusual environment and yet they still can produce unusual outcomes.
