Thank you!

This is so weird, because I now love my cardboard box, but I've also been a long-time JT groupie, though I somehow missed that particular story.

Mr. Thurber is one of the people who made me want to write.

Mr. Thurber, in my opinion, managed to sum up, almost a century before the events and without an ounce of hatred, the situation in the West from that terrible moment in 2001. This is what we're doing, in my opinion.

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

Where are you, Linus? Why don't you love America? :(
Don't go near that elevator - that's just what they want us to do... trap us in a steel box and take us down to the basement.

You both want to play. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

Thanks for the link, amok! (I didn't know you were a writer! I'd love to read anything you've done, if possible.) I haven't read anything by Mr. Thurber, yet, as I have only just learned of him thanks to Mr. Olbermann. Going to the book store on Thursday, perhaps I will scout out a paperback or order one at the desk... I look forward to reading his works. He remind me a little of Kurt Vonnegut, but Mr. Thurber is absolutely original in his style and I am not sure I understand what he really thinks (or should I say 'thought') when I hear Keith read his stories out loud. He is ambiguously hopeful and doomful at the same time, which I both admire and appreciate in a writer. I often write in a cynical tone and really like a writer who can take a dreadful subject and approach it with optimism, something I wish to do myself someday. In that way, Thurber is refined in a way that makes me respect him very much.

Hmm... This happens to me frequently, but I live in non-America. I didn't know it also happens to Americans.

I always realize who the scum are, after I have been lynched. :(
