What a great line! It reminds me of one uttered by a Poetryetc listee way
back in the early days of the list soon after I'd joined, which introduced
me to the pleasures of posts by Joe Duemer, Mark Weiss, Doug Barbour, and
others who responded in various degrees of High Dudgeon to this listee's
declaration of dislike for the blues on account of its "victim politics"!
(An attitude worthy of Comedy Central, no?)
Cheers,
Candice
