@WarnerCrocker "What's to criticize?" I say, scratching my head. Enough with the doom and gloom. "Join us!" I say to all of the critics of the fun party. There's always been a strain of New England puritanism in Americans. I accept that. But, as Ecclesiastes 3:7-8 says, there's "a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." Right now at the DNC is a time to sew, speak and love.
