You are far more charitable than I am. I was a self-absorbed douchebag at his age too! But guess what? Never, ever, ever did I commit any act of violence - not so much as a punch thrown in anger - against another human being. Kyle armed himself and sought out confrontation. I hope (against all evidence) that he gets what he deserves: a long prison sentence.
Ms. Potter - that's a terrific piece! Might nose around www.firstofthemonth.org - Nathan Osborne's stuff in particular! http://www.firstofthemonth.org/author/nathan-osborne/ This one might ring your bell too http://www.firstofthemonth.org/true-vines-secrets-of-our-time/ Forgive if T.M.I.
One of your smartest pieces ever. Thank you and congratulations.
Interesting analysis and insights
