<DIV>Lord Gavin,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again!</DIV>
<DIV>YIS,</DIV>

SCA fills many gaps that mundane life cannot. It walks the line between
<BR>education, fantasy play and supportive, real world community.<BR><BR>For
adults, it offers an oppurtunity to step away from everyday life, to
<BR>learn things they would never otherwise be exposed, and and have other
<BR>people get to know them in ways andd see aspects of their personalities
that <BR>the people in the "real world" would never see.<BR><BR>The SCA
provides an aspect of community that has been lost in modern
<BR>(post-modern) society. A weekend event is in many ways like creating a
<BR>temporary a small town out of the past, where all those present share a
<BR>knowledge and level affection for others that fills the rather large gap
<BR>between the nuclear family and the outside world.<BR>Children raised in
this environment enjoy all the aspects of this <BR>extemporized community !
and in effect have a multitude aunts, uncles and <BR>extended family to care
for and teach them as they grow.<BR><BR>This is simalar to the small town/
urban neiborhood of the past when the <BR>neighborhood culture was a central
binding force and there was a level of <BR>social enforcment that filled
that area between the parents and the police, <BR>where a child could not
get into serious mischief without intervention from <BR>some member of the
community.<BR><BR>Ld Gavin<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
