A bump for this must-read article.
I’d seen this before, but never read it, ‘til now.
It brought to mind three things:
Someone on this forum, a resident of your state if I correctly recall who it was, grew up in north Texas, and as a young boy heard stories from the old men that when they were young they DID NOT leave town alone, lest they be captured/tortured/killed by yet-unpacified Comanches.
The Harf-wit at State who claimed ISIS was raping/murdering/destroying their way across the land because they “didn’t have jobs”.
And, of course, the Gods of the Copybook Headings.
