    “It’s all my fault,” Mrs. Arlington replied. “Those medicines are so expensive and the extra food. Surely I don’t need so many eggs or so much milk?” In the meantime her mother could have milk and cream, eggs and grapes and the young tender chickens that the doctor had insisted she needed - A good thing we know today that health and perfect nutrition does not require animal products and by-products. In fact, many of today's health conditions stem from the consumption of such products.

    For a few weeks another ‘get rid of the foreigners’ wave struck the City and resulted in a certain amount of violent rioting amongst the members of the Union Civica Radical." - Xenophobia...

    “I realise that I am privileged to have come as far as I have, considering the unfortunate accident of my birth!” Cañuela replied with irony. - Amazing how unbalanced and discriminating western society was toward women -> “I quite understand. A woman must always take second place,” Cañuela said.

    One estanciero even took his own herd of milking cows to Europe to ensure that his children had the right milk to drink - dairy has been linked to cancer...

    Six years later the trade grew to nine hundred thousand carcasses.” 900 000 BODIES not carcasses. Let's face it, animals are sentient like ourselves. Eating a cow (beef) or sheep (mutton) is like killing and eating a toddler (human child).

    "What was more, Argentines of all classes believed in the ideal of purity, incorruptibility and honourable conduct.Argentines rather like the English, believed that the structure of Society rested on the preservation of respectability. This was all based on a social code that as far as a family was concerned was both narrow and bigoted." - much like the English aristocracy, 'honourable conduct' is a misnomer in that you could behave in a completely dishonorable manner as long as you were discreet...total bullshit.

    "Yet at the same time she loved even while she hated."Cartland has said love and hate emanate from the same place - one of the few statements that can be believed, the rest is mostly rubbish based on prejudiced opinion...

    “Passionate?” she questioned. “But of course, señorita, it is a compliment. It is what a man should be and the Señor is noted for his many, many love affairs!” - that double standard, meaning a man could act out his "passion" anytime is something women are still judged for today.
