I wonder if the study mentioned had any non-slaves or vanilla people questioned as part of the study to be used as a control group?

I lived a pretty normal feeling childhood in so far as I know...no abuse or anything.

I am a firm believer however that altough people are all different that we also have many simularities and subsects of general groupings of different types that are for the most part applicable alltough not always mutually inclusive in all cases.

Sometimes these charactieristics used to define any paticular group are not desierable ones, or they are drawn with the purpose of drawing attention to a precived weakness or some other durogatory condition by which those of a given group are somehow aflicted etc.

However....one thing I do know from my experiences (despite any negative impressions that such stereotypes can generate conserning those of us who submit in total to another) is that it takes real strength and courage to submit in such a fashion and lots of love and intuitive thinking to do it well.

And those are just a handful of the many other good qualities that we who are collared as slaves also hold in common.
