I don't recall planning a Carnival stamp. As for the Reichskristallnacht, that would be more problems in paraolympics. And for some, still an issue. Maybe tomorrow's stamp will cover all those themes.

YES! I have several of those stamps in the past. I realize now that I used the wrong word--not Wagnerputz but Wagnerprunk. Today's stamp --the hero dog, was for me very complicated: PETA thinks that all animal, though not vegetable or mineral exploitation, is slavery. I hold the exploitation of all to be a form of slavery. But is this heroic? Do we want our body cells to save us and sacrifice themselves? Tomorrow I will make a stamp about the BIG EXPLOITERS OF THE PLATONIC HEAVENS. How grand is the human imagination.

The stamp is about how the well-provided (the boat owners of the world) contrive, enslave and exploit the less fortunate. Para is just a word, or a part description. Each of us is endowed in a handicap of opportunities, to help, hinder or encourage the rest. I am glad you did not like the stamp. I did not like the theme either, but did not take sides against color itself.

Life is a para -olympic challenge. That covers all my stamps.

simple enough? uh..that would have been a Zen parable. The dog owner thought enough of the dog to give it a life jacket. Uh, that's heroic, but not for the dog. I had all the rules that are supposed to protect us, but then we get thrown in the water anyway.
