        Ah true, he said "lived in". Still, I didn't know you lived in Alaska either :) -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 09:35 1

    - Oh, it's absolutely selling a fantasy of identity to people who would reject that they play identity politics. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 08:44 2
      - And that will be the next defense—“There’s never any outrage when rappers talk about shooting cops and slapping women, in every song.” -- nm - Flavorize Jul 19, 08:51 1
