let me explain.



if you only ever see that... then hawaii and alaska are treated in the same way... so then one day i heard someone on television talk about driving to alaska and i laughed, and then quietly figured out that they weren't joking, and the reason i'm not embarrased is because this is not my fault.

no one ever bothered to say "this land is connected to canada" so how the fuck was i supposed to know? i graduated high school and never had to know this.

and really the most productive thing to say to your neice is. "no one, not even your dad, is always right. if you have questions, i'll be happy to answer them"

and thus, you can keep the lines of communication open.

or you can give them to one of those deprogramming things xie was talking aobut, but kidnapping is a federal offense.

well, looking at that map it does make sense how the error could occur.

yes, i can see how that line would be more effective, then "Oh my god the is freaking ridiculous, kerry does not kill babies, that is a total lie." or you know, whatever i might have said along those lines.

but i am still keeping xie's idea as plan b.
