whoops, make that torts. W. Page Keeton was Dean of the University of Texas law school, a place I turned down in 1973. Been a while.

Carole Strayhorn's father was Dean Keeton, well known to law students who read his Contracts book. Bet he's spinning in his grave.

Theresa's last statement goes to the heart of the current paradigm shift that has taken place in our society:
"If we’re really going to get into the habit of thinking of those who fight foreign occupation of their own country as monsters on the order of the 9/11 perpetrators (“soulless” or otherwise), then what we’re declaring war on is world conservatism: the attachment of people everywhere to their land, their family, their established way of life."
And that paradigm shift is that the current administration has transformed us into the Empire from "Star Wars." It's pretty tough these days, waking up and knowing that we are the representatives of all those faceless guys in the terrifying white body armour, whacking up the doughty galactic rebels. It wasn't supposed to be this way, but there you have it. I've never had to deal with current reality that is so far opposed to my inner reality.
