He suggested that since much of the area has been used to being under the rule of various War Lords, that they might learn better with the concept of the different 'family' training that has historically been done in that world. I always thought it was an intriguing idea. NOT that I think it ought to be done--that world is awfully corrupt and the extras that would go along with including them into the scheme of things might not be so great for all concerned. But, in terms of training, etc., I have wondered if some of the ideas might not have been helpful. Though it wouldn't really help in breaking down barriers and making them all "One Nation" or such. Thanks for the clarification! Best, Marlena in Missouri
