Reply #158: you know it's funny you mention this: I had dinner with

a transgender friend of mine last week, and I asked Mary about it. She's very into politics (though largely on a local level) and very bright, and she said that personally she felt hurt and angry but practically she felt it was the right thing to do.

You know, I'm not going to sink to your level here. It's tempting, but I do it too often, and yeah, I could slam you: I'm damn good at hitting back.

Of course I care about people. It's why I spent part of Thanksgiving helping put on a community dinner for those in need. What did you do recently. And the week before that I helped with our annual Nicaraguan sister town benefit. So you're accusing me of crap that's so far from the truth, why bother hitting back.

I've worked for years on issues relating to the GBLT community. It's something that's very dear to me, and close to my heart.

I'll tell you one thing: I'm glad as all get out that I'm not like you. It's a huge relief not to be someone who tells other people that they don't give a fuck about others.
