Sister Pearl's World RSS

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

I guess, the difference in my mind is, if you knew the perils, but the conversation that you had with the public painted a rosier picture, how is that not deception? What it sounds like for me is, the fact that you seemed to know all the risks takes this from manslaughter to homicide.
