Hey Andrew, I'll be posting one of the essays your comment inspired tomorrow (Sunday). I'm not as happy with it as I would like to be, but I've rewritten it four times and at some point, I just have to let go. LOL. There are just too many layers to cover in one essay (which I'll try to circle back to in others), and I'm uncomfortable with how much I had to leave out. I also always worry when I bring another writer into these conversations and how people will respond. If you get any backlash, please let me know. There's enough conflict in the world and I don't want to be the cause of more.

Thanks for the inspiration. I still have more to say on it all! Hopefully, I'll be able to get the rest out with less struggle! :)
