Glad to hear you are having a good laugh at the expense of others who don't give a damn about your anal obsession.
Honey, you are flappin'! How in the world do you manage the transition from laughing about being called a turd to laughing at someone else's expense? If you don't give a damn about this obsession of Carey's, anal or otherwise, which you believe to exist, then why bother bringing it up again and again and again and again?
And yeah, Ginger is pretty generous but even she is growing weary of this "worthless shit" so ya might want to knock it off.
Yeah, but none of it is coming from Carey as far as I can tell. Carey's asking serious question about how parents can get sucked into something like this and I, for one, am doing my best to tell the lady everything I know or think on the subject.
Folks, this is what I'm talking about when I say that bringing a successful suite against anyone is not like ordering a pizza. Everyone goes on the defensive and offensive and the stakes are unimaginably high on a deeply personal level. Everyone's got some alibi, no one believes the others and not everyone even believes their own.
It's a fucking ugly business, bringing force of law down to bear against someone. Most especialy against those who torment us for our own good, because they do so with the approval of their own conscience. But when you've exhausted all other options, sometimes it's well worth it. And no one can legitimately make that call for another.
Based on my past experience with similar situations, my best advice to all of you guys is to try a little harder to limit friendly fire and civilian casualties.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much
liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
--Thomas Jefferson, 1791, in a letter to Archibald Stuart
