I'm sure they thought that finally we would all agree on something. Of course they were very disappointed when I just showed a moderate disgust and not "rage". And as I attempted to explain why they each slowly bowed out of the conversation. But that happens when you strike too close to the truth. Still, I hope they know enough to question further: We are all M Vick.<br /><br />As usual - thanks for a great post!Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-56781131203722990782009-08-19T16:57:22.324-03:002009-08-19T16:57:22.324-03:00Mylene,

Nor do they seem to understand that you can indeed have a rational and respectful discussion about abolition with a fellow human that doesn't involve patronizing him/her.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982914222299822601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-7791094788565674762009-08-16T16:09:34.558-03:002009-08-16T16:09:34.558-03:00Great blog.
