I’m arguing it on a liberal site as I type this. One of the guys is absolutely hung up on his use of the phrase “pick cotton”. I explained what he probably meant (get a job) and also included his clarification posted here.
When they are forced to deal with a parsing of his statement, they are left clutching at red herrings.
Good job and I am sorry about the Cuban Leaf comment. That was leafist. You are my brother in the fight.
