This is from reader Jae Grenier of San Angeleo, Texas:
If I knew how to post this on your blog, if that’s what it’s called, I would. Unfortunately, I am a little old lady in ballet flats, who barely manages to find your “moderate voice.”
However . . . I really do wish you (not to mention everyone else) would stop saying “claims responsibility” or “claims credit” for the assorted atrocities that occur on practically a daily basis. “Claim”, “responsibility” and “credit” sound almost respectable. These criminal sociopaths ADMIT GUILT.
Consider it posted! And thanks for reading!
