Who is us?
Us is nice people. By and large, us is. Us don't intentionally live in a world of rape, robbery, torture, and murder. It just happens somehow, and somehow we're there. What kind of world would I wish us made? A world of respect for each other, thoughtfulness for each other, generosity for each other, kindness for each other, a world in which us didn't each know how superior he or she is to the rest of us. Yeah, right. What fun would Little Red Riding Hood be without the Big Bad Wolf and the mighty Woodsman? What would be the point of Snow White without the Evil Queen? Oh, those stories don't have anything to do with our own? Well gol-ly!
