I think the reactions concerning Gypsies, is different when it comes from people who have been affected by them. Reuben ived and worked in a neighborhood that had a lot of them. I can't mention them to him without him getting angry as he had severa paychecks docked due to them walking off with aot of stuff. He was 17-18 at the time.
There are places that do that?
I think I would have a slightly different take on just how many people in that story were "stealing".
It's gotta be confusing to children to live in an everything beongs to everyone society and then have to interact with our "this bleongs to me" outlook.
does that make sense?
Perfectly. There used to be a native tribe in Newfoundland that was completely wiped out by the white settlers over just such a disconnect.
Who is the "theif" depends on which side of the culture divide you are standing in.
