After being forced to take down and deliver Uncle Hendrick's many Fox News-worthy

*snort*

I like Kit's story as recounted by you, because it teaches kids to not put up with bullshit and how you can make yourself heard, which isn't often something people get around to teaching their kids.

POINT THE FIRST, I fucking love your icon. STILL. #still

POINT THE SECOND, I actually side-eyed so much of the "oppositional" writing in these books, including the little shit kid whose father says soup kitchens just make people "dependent on government" and these were written thirteen/fourteen years ago. I mean, I know these were actual sentiments of the time and that the Right loves to relive its bullshit (not that the Left doesn't, but the Right's the angle big on throwing back).

I was really pleased to see this quality still alive in these books, since I remembered at least Samantha's and Kirsten's story having Doing the Right Thing elements to them.
