There’s that special age when you stay up past your bedtime reminiscing by listening to music you loved 20 years ago that actually came out 40 years ago. They call it the middle.

If all of us are not granted the same rights and protections under the law, then none of us have those protections. They’re an illusion. The same is true of the states. “States Rights” cannot simply be a battle cry for the issues you agree with. We have laws and a system for a reason.

There’s someone out there who for years has been giving my email for all their orders and purchases: Pizza Hut, Nintendo, hotels, car leases, Six Flags, etc. They really seem like they’re living their best life sans their confirmation numbers.
