PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE?

What difference would it make if you knew that King Henry II of England was your 25th great-grandfather?


Perhaps none - or perhaps you would develop an interest in Early Medieval history. Perhaps you would discover a deeper respect for yourself and demand more of yourself.  


If you knew one of your ancestors was a Baron of the Magna Charta, would you care?  Would you feel a personal commitment to asserting freedom and liberty for yourself and others?

I might go so far as to look for a large oil painting of King Arthur and his knights around the round table... but would probably settle for a new screensaver of the same ilk, which would be cheaper and yet a regular reminder.

But to answer your question. I just might feel a bit more empowered and emboldened, knowing that somewhere, perhaps deep inside, I had a little gene or two that dared to be bold on behalf of justice. I might be tempted to look for it, and maybe I would find it :)
