How goes prosecuting Nazis? The OGs,
not the new ones. I can ask a friend that
of his daughter. You probably can’t
so I’ll ask for you, too. It’s a great world
that offers these little comforts

and I’m proud of us. We could say, So what? And do

are still easily separated from their wings.

changes that. Maybe some amount of love.
