Thank you for that. It reminds me of late September 2001, when Bush was on TV saying that terrorism was a new kind of war that we were going to have to learn how to fight and my friend turned to me and said "New to whom, exactly? I've been defending myself from terrorism for most of my adult life, defending myself from the likes of W. The only people who have ever broken into my home and held me at gunpoint while ransacking my belongings were wearing badges..." And my response was similar to the linked article: Having to put up with it because you are poor and get high occasionally is no fun, but at least we do know how to deal with it. We aren't fooling ourselves about who we are or what we can do, not just because we haven't been allowed to, but also because that's who and what we are. We aren't going anywhere any time soon. It turns out that there really are advantages to growing up and acting like an adult.
