they just passed the bill that’s going to take 9 billion dollars from public broadcasting and foreign aid—- can anyone explain how this helps anyone? They take things away from those who need it and give them to those who don’t, as I saw somewhere- it’s Robin Hood in reverse

Think D.H. Lawrence nailed it over a century ago when he wrote: “The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted” in Studies Classical American Literature don’t you?
