  Lord Gavin,

  Thank you for your input.  I really like what you said about the SCA being
like the extended family for children raised within the Society.  I wasn't
raised in the SCA (obviously), and I notice a vast difference between my
values and sense of trust from, say, Kylie and Denee.  I think it's
wonderful that they had such a broad support base growing up.

  Thanks again!
  YIS,

    The SCA fills many gaps that mundane life cannot. It walks the line
between
    education, fantasy play and supportive, real world community.

    For adults, it offers an oppurtunity to step away from everyday life, to
    learn things they would never otherwise be exposed, and and have other
    people get to know them in ways andd see aspects of their personalities
that
    the people in the "real world" would never see.

    The SCA provides an aspect of community that has been lost in modern
    (post-modern) society. A weekend event is in many ways like creating a
    temporary a small town out of the past, where all those present share a
    knowledge and level affection for others that fills the rather large gap
    between the nuclear family and the outside world.
    Children raised in this environment enjoy all the aspects of this
    extemporized community ! and in effect have a multitude aunts, uncles
and
    extended family to care for and teach them as they grow.

    This is simalar to the small town/ urban neiborhood of the past when the
    neighborhood culture was a central binding force and there was a level
of
    social enforcment that filled that area between the parents and the
police,
    where a child could not get into serious mischief without intervention
from
    some member of the community.

    Ld Gavin
