[Vision2020] Wedded bliss -- entirely possible without the approval of Greg

[Melynda Huskey]

Dear Greg,

We're not on the same page here at all . . .

1.  I promise, I'm not incensed.  Curious, puzzled, bemused--but not 
incensed.  You, on the other hand, seem a trifle hot under the collar.  But 
perhaps I misconstrue your tone.

2.  Good gracious, criticize away.  It doesn't hurt me, and it amuses you, 
as the Irishman said when his wife began to beat him (a quotation from 
Charles Dickens--and what a fine time of year this is to re-read *Pickwick 
Papers*).

3.  Slavery . . . that's where we started.  Slavery.  Let's head back there, 
shall we?  Dulce desipere in loco, and all that, but on the whole, I think 
the question even of the Revolutionary Mind is more interesting to local 
citizens than you and I arguing about whether or not you think I'm married.

And then we could dredge up some interesting social history of, say, 
pre-Revolutionary France, and then undoubtedly someone could explain why 
even a thoroughly evil king is better than a Revolutionary Committee, and 
someone else could have read *The Scarlet Pimpernel,* and the ills of the 
guillotine could be explored, and someone could point out that Citoyenne and 
Comrade are practically the same title . . .

Actually, let's call the whole thing off.

Melynda Huskey



Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter.
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Burnt Norton, T.S. Eliot
