Today, I've got a question and two quotes. And also a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWIG!!! (Unless Thorne lied about your birthday, of course. In which case I still hope you have a happy day.)
twigcollins is a fantastic author and story teller and all around human being and totally deserves everything she could ever want. I hope you have an awesome birthday and year and everything and that everything goes your way and you never have to rescue a friend from Silent Hill.
Question: If Clinton wins all the elections and becomes president, does that make Bill the First Gentleman? Is he planning on living in the White House?
The first quote is from The Gift of Fear, by Gavin De Becker. Everybody should read this book, but especially all of the ladies out there. I'm learning a lot about it, and three chapters in, I already feel I know a lot more about how to deal with creepsters.
I don't remember where I first heard this simple description of one dramatic contrast between the genders, but it is strikingly accurate: At core, men are afraid women will laugh at them, while at core, women are afraid men will kill them.
The other quote is from the summary of a trial found in my Criminal Law textbook by Joel Samaha, concerning the right to flag burning. Although this quote has nothing to do with flag burning, or free speech, but whatever.
While the Republican National Convention was taking place in Dallas in 1984, Gregory Lee Johnson participated in a political demonstration called the "Republican War Chest Tour." The purpose of this even was to protest the policies of the Reagan administration and of certain Dallas-based corporations. The demonstrators marched through the Dallas streets, chanting political slogans and stopping at several corporate locations to stage "die-ins" intended to dramatize the consequences of nuclear war. On several occasions they spray-painted buildings and overturned potted plants [emphasis added] . . .
They dramatized the consequences of nuclear war by overturning some potted plants? Man! They sure captured the drama and consequences of nuclear war! SAVE THE POTTED PLANTS, DON'T LET NUCLEAR WAR HAPPEN.
