And go where, Alison? If you find a place without this level of shit,
let me know. I thought I was reading about the (New) Jersey Shore
during summertime. Or an American history textbook. But no "Leb" or
Muslim would have the stupidity to show up at Seaside Heights, Point
Pleasant or Long Beach Island during high summer because they've already
been acculturated to the likely outcome of their appearance.
I remember my 5th grade teacher, Fannie Stone, telling us about
something she witnessed as a kid. It took me many years to recall and
assimilate it: a race riot on the beaches of Lake Michigan in July
1919. It sounds a bit like Cronulla. One would like to think the human
race has grown up a bit or evolved away from the ooze, but I suppose
that's magical thinking. Anyway, the beach is where the Chicago race
riot started. It continued from there and bled into the neighborhoods.

39. Not observing the imperfections of others, preserving silence and a continual communion with God will eradicate great imperfections from the
soul and make it the possessor of great virtues.
