Today, I denied the holocaust in front of this kid whose granddad's entire family was killed in Auschwitz. I gave a half-hearted apology. But when I got home, instead of forgetting about this, I added it to the list of awful things I've done that sound particularly bad when taken out of context. I ranked it somewhere above sending my English teacher pictures of aborted fetuses and below telling a kid in a wheelchair to stand up and look me in the eyes. I'm not asking you to validate this placement, I'm fairly confident in it. I'm also not asking you if you thought I'd do that, that'd be pretty unanimous. The real question is this:
How many of you are surprised I keep this list?
