    This sucks.

    (Aside: Anyone who's never been to Chautauqua, go if you can. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which is why some nut was able to charge at Rushdie on stage. You'll probably need wealthy family members, sadly.)

    I used to have trouble understanding how religious fanatics could bend entire countries to their will. Used to.

    Same here. Nazis. People opposed to civil rights. The resentment and toxic fragility of many white people has always been there. I think it's a by-product of capitalism - or maybe a key ingredient to keep wealth inequality so wide.
