    I’m not a coward about words, but I’ve had this point deleted by mods before.

    Malcolm describes the difference between the “house **gro” and the “field **gro.”

    If someone came to the house **gro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” naturally that Uncle Tom would say, “Go where? What could I do without boss? Where would I live? How would I dress? Who would look out for me?” That’s the house **gro. But if you went to the field **gro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” he wouldn’t even ask you where or how. He’d say, “Yes, let’s go.” And that one ended right there.
