<smile> If I live by that I will never find peace.

Of course I know these demons. How can one live in my skin and not? But you must remember - you have a luxury that I do not - you can pick this up and put it down and come back to it at will. That affords you a sort of space, a buffer, a boundary of sorts.

I must consciously carve out that space if I am to find my own private moment to regroup and breath. I cannot afford such a far reaching militancy and the list of the complicit has no natural boundaries.

And that hate! I would hate everyone white, Tony, and that hate would do nothing to the but it would most certainly destroy me.

I must make my own boundaries, and I choose these three.

(If it matters, though, your very thinking here is why I abhor To Kill A Mockingbird)
