Red in tooth claw and beak. When Robert Paul, Carol Kirschenbaum and I met up
many years ago I arrived in an Abrams tank, Robert had his usual two bazookas
and Carol brought a retinue of carls, all armed to the teeth. Think Beirut in
the bad old days and you pretty much have us down.
I read that a kickstarter, or some such grassroots campaign to pay for the
damage caused by riots, raised a considerable amount of money.
I don’t see that being a Republican is the only guarantee of being a good shot.
Hereabouts we have Veterans and hunters who vote Democratic, Libertarian, who
knows what. And Trotsky’s lot were good with guns. And Eisenhower was the son
of pacifists.
