"Maybe it's because you're a bunch of assholes imposing a deeply flawed belief system on everyone you meet. Did you ever think of that?”

They don't all start like that, but they become that way over thousands of years...

They do, and we need to start calling them out on it!

The sad part is that once I get going there are so many other injustices that become apparent. I think this form of mockery is the right way to talk about them. Thanks for your kind words!

About a page from the end, my daughter said, "Daddy! That's the Supreme court!" I denied all knowledge of what she was talking about. Any similarity to people real or imagined is entirely coincidental :).

This is both funny and upsetting. My wife and my daughter are both precious to me and your story highlights the problem with unqualified people being on our Supreme Court. I believe the American Bar Association scored at least two of them incapable of being on the court before they were appointed. It may be the first time that has ever happened since the ABA came into existence.
