Though many a tortured night prevails
Thy exorcisms shall but fail
Thy crucifix doth burn my flesh
I shall not yield to you, unless I die
– Venom, Possessed –
“The world has become a smaller place since I started out in Vietnam and then opened up in Phnom Penh Cambodia, you who were abandoned; injured, abused children of war are adults now with lives and some with families of your own. Now it is time to reach out to these children like you who did not ask to be born especially under such terrible conditions.”
– Naomi Bronstein, Naomi’s Kids –
Says you.
What?
You point to a water bucket near a well and we’re supposed to fall all over ourselves to fill it and carry it back so you can water your flower beds?
You snap your fingers and we’re supposed to jump up off our stools to wash and dry the dirty dishes your countrymen left in the sink overnight?
You blow your whistle and we are to run out of our rooms and line up in the foyer for roll call and wardrobe inspection?
You raise your baton and we are to sing your praises in perfect Austrian harmony?
When did our lives become your life’s mission?
How much do we owe you for your selfless service?
How much longer do we have to pay for your kindness?
How big has the bounty upon our heads grown?

My abro grew up hearing about the horrors of his orphanage...gag. She has a savior complex.....
It's like she's playing the Wheel of Orphans. "Let's see who I can save next."
Naomi's kids?
Kudos again, Kevin. No we did not ask to be born "under such terrible conditions" nor did we as to be obligated with other people's ideas of how we should direct our "gratitude" over our good fortune. Just as I itch at people doling out the role of "bridges" to adoptees, the presumption that I am somehow obligated to "give back" to her particular cause makes my eyes cross. Who is she?
I can respect and admire her work, but her presumption to tell adoptees their "place" is annoying and a bit condescending. I think many of us grow up with enough guilt trips, thank you very much.
I have to say it wasn't our choice to be taken out of our homeland. And it was bad enough to be thrust into a foreign country among people who did not even look like you. Being forced to acknowledge that we no longer lived back in a war torn country, being accustomed to the new land we were thrown into.. i.e. for me inparticular... it was a loss of a language that I spoke before coming here. I'm saddened and bitter that I don't know it any more. Yes, I'm glad to have been delivered out of there, but to see what I've been through all my life.. should I be so grateful to these people that were suppose to take care of me and not take of me in a proper way? No. I'm not grateful for that. There is no war going on in Guatemala. It would be different if there was a war going on down there. But there isn't. Please spare me the guilt trips and the condenscending attitude and don't put me in my place. Treat us with some dignity and a little more respect. Afterall, we're all adults.
Bronstein is like a freelance humanitarian. Wherever she thinks she's needed, she's there.
Her presumptiveness is annoying. If her message had been more informative and conciliatory, then we may have given her a second look.
But, she chose to play the savior again. And, we're sooo over that.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
