A sign in a store window of Findhorn, a quirky community in Scotland, said something to the effect of "dying grays mean more reds". Scotland is evidently trying to preserve its red hairy heritage by eradicating the invasive American gray (no relation to Lord John)squirrel.Immigration problems go both ways. The English "gifted" the U.S. with nuisance species like starlings and house sparrows, so giving the UK gray hair trying to keep their native rodents red seems a bit like karmic payback.Belinda Jonakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409629571052382256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-4529693643450796102010-11-03T14:31:17.610-07:002010-11-03T14:31:17.610-07:00As I am ginger-haired at the moment (having chosen...As I am ginger-haired at the moment (having chosen bottle #59 instead of #60), I will take up the cause--for a couple of months anyhow.

As one of 4 children who grew up being called 'ginger' or 'carrots', I find that I am still bothered by those who seem to have this prejudice against redheads. I prefer to believe they're just jealous.
