The Things They Carried.
Yes. But dangerously powerful 12-year-olds!
Yes, from what I’ve seen it’s the victims’ names that are redacted. Except for the reference to the Maxwell girl…
Women will tell you that plenty of men are like that, unfortunately. These men just had the wherewithal to indulge without worry.
I’m noticing that friends/family who have recently broken with GOP make a point of saying the same re: one party rule. But most prior to Trump deeply opposed to any and every Democrat. So that’s yet another shift. But I wonder about its basis.
That’s one heck of a fungible idea of people. Moronic too.
Have to wonder what his mother might have taken while pregnant with him.
I did too. Which is why I know he’s full of it.
What the hell school was he sent to that encouraged kids to bring guns to school?!? We’re supposed to believe this bullshit?! As if a Kennedy was sent to a school where all the farm kids took the first day of deer hunting season off?

1968-71, Hancock, NY. My friend Carlen M’s bedroom was circular, in a turret like this. It was glorious.

I just started watching West Wing (never watched it before) and feel mournful every time there’s a scene in the Oval Office.o
True. I was talking with a high school friend I suspect voted for Trump the other night who makes a point of constantly claiming “both sides” when in discussions about what’s currently happening. But the degree to which that is true is so marginal…is there any true equivalence to this Trump admin?
I think I discern a tone closer to “politely” rather than “respectfully.”

I remember reading these in the 70s and being enthralled. Thanks for reminding me of them. I wonder how reading them as a 72-year-old will differ from reading them as a 20-something year old.
Coastal elites is one of those phrases people pick up and reuse without thinking about it.
I had this one posted on the wall of my cubicle for years back when I worked onsite. poets.org/poem/kindnes...
It did. Was all over X early yesterday.
Right. I know what it means and it's not an incorrect term. But it's distancing.
I always felt this was where Hillary Clinton fell down. Smart as hell and apparently very engaging one on one. But tone deaf.
They might enjoy having something vegan on the table tho. I’m sure you don’t invite vegan friends to dinner and then have nothing to offer them.
Sure. Although the way you word that it’s almost as if it can only be an either or.
How thoughtful of you! I’m baffled by anyone baffled at the prospect of offering up a delicious meal with lots of vegetarian variety. Although you do sound more hostile than baffled. Almost as if you have contempt for anyone who doesn’t eat meat.
