Often times things get confused Johnny, because people may not know the person making the comments, or the person who is on the receiving end. It has been stated that I don't respect my roots, or I am disrespectful if I question something. With that said, is the below person being disrespectful of her roots, being an author and all:
EX-SHOWGIRL'S BOOK CHALLENGED SHAKESPEARE
By Mark Zaloudek
Published Saturday, April 26, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
SARASOTA — Roberta "Berta" Ballantine was a showgirl in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and her husband was one of the guiding forces of the circus's famed Clown College, but her greatest claim to fame may be a controversial book she completed shortly before her death questioning whether William Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous plays.
I read Pats Blog also, and didn't know if you had seen this, what say you disrespectful or do that only apply to animal people?

I did read about it as part of the obituary and it is not a rare revelation and others have held the same thoughts or ideas. I am not an intellectual by any means, but was aware of it by general knowledge of information. I knew her and she was an intellectual and both she and Bill were highly intelligent and son Toby was declared a Genius by some account in his early youth.
Johnny,
So does that make me disrespectful of my roots, because I am not an intellectual, or a genius, and as far as I know none of my children are. What if others have held the same thoughts or ideas, but are afraid to state them publicly. Why have you portrayed me as disrespectful, by questioning something I think is wrong. That's stereotyping is harmful. I just was looking for an answer so I could be more of an intellectual. What do you think is the reason there are no more high school acts around. Who are your contemporaries? What do you consider training? What should be the standard? Why was Clyde advertised as the Worlds Greatest Subjugator? Who he bought a popcorn for doesn't answer my questions, in my quest for intellectual fulfillment. Who else would like John Herriott to answer, given his year of expertize?
Regards,
Wade
Paul,
To say somebody is something, is slander or liable. What if it affects how others look at him. Check with your attorney friend, if you would. We have an open book world here as Mr. Herriott pointed out earlier. Also find out if you can use a picture that as been sent to you. Can you not say you didn't know.
