A Reflection On What We Deem Acceptable
I picked a hell of a time to start following politics. I’ve only been paying attention since the most recent national election cycle and I’ve seen some mind-boggling shit. Not to pontificate like a first-year grad student, I recall giving a brief sketch of the etymologies of politics and politic—”affairs of state” and “pertaining to public life,”
“I came from a real tough neighborhood. Once a guy pulled a knife on me. I knew he wasn’t a professional, the knife had butter on it.”
“Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but they think each others stink.”
“If my survival caused another to perish, than death would be sweeter and more beloved.”
