BELIEF

THIS BELIEF WAS TOLD TO ME AND ALL THE CHILDREN ON THE BLOCK
WHEN WE PLAYED WAR OR COWBOYS AND INDIANS. WE WE (SIC) TOLD
NEVER TO SPEAK OF KILLING BECAUSE WE MUST REALIZE IT WASN'T
A GAME. I THINK THAT THIS WAS A RELIGIOUS BELIEF-MOST
RELIGIONS DO NOT CONDONE KILLING, BUT SHE WOULD NOT HERE OF
OUR SPEAKING OF IT OR PLAYING LIKE IT.
