..."Was she trolling, or being trolled?"<br /><br /> She just answers people who email her and meets them for coffee, if there is any attraction at all. Occasionally she sees a guy more than once, but rarely. I don't think she's gotten "physical" with any of the ones she's met that way. But she's been meeting guys through ads since the 80s, off and on. Don't know why, except that she lives in D.C. and even in the days when she was 25 years younger and very good looking (which she still is), there were more women than men around.harmonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65458594807274424952010-08-31T09:37:36.813-07:002010-08-31T09:37:36.813-07:00"I have no need for so-called conservatives w..."I have no need for so-called conservatives who want to wrap themselves in King's "legacy" (whatever that even is, anymore).

Once you recognize that a lot of your success in life is outside your control (genes and early environment), it makes some version of the welfare state make a lot more sense. More fundamentally, massive income equality based on winning/losing the gene lottery becomes damned hard to accept. In many ways, this realization would benefit liberals more than conservatives. But it's unpalatable both because it undermines the idea that themfundamental inequality can be fixed, and because it's linked to the whole race/IQ/inequality minefield.none of the abovenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-68584185290698977762010-08-30T09:51:33.672-07:002010-08-30T09:51:33.672-07:00Of course they did.
