    1/ There was a stillness after Nixon resigned. The war ended and those that could came home. But it was as if the country was in shock. People wanted to believe that corruption at the top was anomaly-wanted to forget the ugly culture war that mirrored the real one. Carter was a

    5/So forgive length of this but you asked a critical question that I'm trying to give a heartfelt answer. Am no historian-just an accidental tourist in the last four decades of America's history. The answer to "how did we ever get here?", is that we never really left "there." End

    I was going to ignore this calculated/obstreperous attempt at trolling til this self-proclaimed dry dick insulted The Pixies. In happier news, it's nice to realize the girl in blue square toed docs who interned in 1992 still exists, despite all that tried to kill her

    "Why couldn't they come here the right way? Don't tell me how difficult it is to come to this country-- it's an insult. You have no idea. You think it was easy 50 years ago? 40? 30? There were no guarantees for any of us trying. But we still followed the rules. Why didn't they?"
