"Would You Like To Buy A Pen?" She Asked Me

[tavernier]

81. What is your intention with all this badgering?

Is it to hijack Mr. Grayson's thread? Because I honestly can't think of any other reason why someone would take a simple little story and turn it into a Matrix thriller.

A hobo and a nice lady. She gives him money and accidentally loses her ring in his cup. He doesn't sell the ring but instead waits until she comes back for it. Two good deeds. I was suggesting that congress should act like ordinary people and treat each other with this kind of respect and goodness. No more, no less.

Obviously as a democrat, I think our side has bent over to republicans disproportionately, but that wasn't the point of my story. It was only to say that ordinary people out there are doing good things every day and that congress should follow their lead.

I'm afraid I have no more ways to clarify my meaning, so write on if you wish, but this is my last word on it. My apologies to Mr. Grayson for complicating his lovely post.
