WHO MOM AND POP?

Well the shopping went well at all the stores, the wimmin had a lotta fun at the mom and pop stores and we got a chance to talk about the importance of the continuing of any cultural place. And I told them that I thought that mom and pop businesses really were the saving grace in American culture to keep the idea of grass roots ideas alive and thriving, of course they thought that maybe I had taken the idea a bit to far to include not only grocery stores but all stores, business and social and cultural organizations that served a particular group of humans. One womon said she thought that we as humans get a chance to lean more about each other when we mix and mingle not when we stay only with our own. I gave that a lot of thought and still do and I do see the value of staying non-homogenized culturally. Another womon said that when we become exclusive orientated that our views become narrowed, discriminatory and dictatorial. I ask her if she would say that of religions, she said no she did not get the connection. I also asked if this was true did she not think that maybe such clubs as Polish, Italian,African, French and Cuban American clubs may fit that 'exclusive orientated' thang that she just spoke of? She said she thought that I was taking things just a bit to far, that was her response and she began to talk about something else with the other wimmin. I thought to myself is that how others or myself throw off conversation or thoughts that we prefer to ignore? Another thought came to me,and this is over foods different foods and thought from others so is this homogenized or non-homogenized?
