 I don't know about the details of you and your siblings and the "early"
 years. But looking back (I am the youngest of four and approaching sixty and
 the oldest will be sixty-eight this year) I can see how where in many cases
 even though we were brought up by the same parents and in some cases 
ttended
 the very same school system, we "reacted" to the "situations" in very
 different ways. There are _still_ "things" in the family's past that I don't
 know about that my older siblings do. My older sister went through high
 school during WW II. I went to high school during the 1950s. VERY different
 eras in American history. Different attitudes. Different values.
 
 I can also see the difference in my children and my brother's children. My
 brother's children (and their mother) are "Californians". My children (as
 were both their parents) "Oregonians". Actually, my son was born in 
California,
 but we caught it in time and managed to "eliminate" the "bad" traits. 
 I am still convinced that one is a "product" of their environment as well as
 _how_ they react to that environment.
 Jim (who is convinced this "clone thing" is blown WAY out of proportion)
