This is the category I am in. I have a lot of stuff. Have I ever got the time or energy to sort through it? No. Do I get overwhelmed after starting a "get Organized" task and then find myself exhausted and weirdly emotional about clippings and photos and other stuff I probably haven't touched since high school that I found in a mouldering shoebox? Well, yes.

Whenever I move, I manage to go through and weed down about half of the half dozen boxes of random unscrapbooked mementoes I've been lugging from place to place before I get worn out and overwhelmed and just stick the rest in a cardboard box in the back of a closet "for later."

What I wouldn't be able to do is find a specific greeting card from a specific person from decades ago without a lot of deep digging in that "for later" closet box, and that's if it even survived multiple weeding-outs and purges.

I think we all pondered about why Oscar brought the defamation suit against his lover’s father. What did he expect would actually happen? It just seems like mad self-destruction. “Yet each man kills the thing he loves, by each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword”…”the kindest use a knife, because, The dead so soon grow cold”

Or just one of these people who saves everything because it takes too much time to go through and throw out the old stuff.

In any sane universe, Warnock would be leading this race 90-10.

Probably some do. I guess we'll find out soon.

I'm familiar with your hate mongering and vitriol, though.

maybe you could try not to be so black and white about everything. recognize that we all live on a spectrum. decide maybe not to lump this kid in with those who smear their shit on the walls of Congress because *maybe* being Black in America isn't the easiest thing in the world and *maybe* everyone talking about how your father--not your mother whose choice it actually is--wanted you aborted and *maybe* if he had access to the same things I did as a white child of a single mother his views wouldn't be so skewed.

in the end, he doesn't have to withhold his views just because he doesn't want himself or his mother turned into political props. he doesn't give up his rights to free speech and association just to have his right and hus mother's right to privacy respcted.

You didn't bother to go to his Twitter account, did you?

In the meantime, please list the examples of my hate-mongering and vitriol that you're so familiar with.

you're one of the people who goes into a tizzy if you see "Texas" and are completely unable to differentiate between 30 million people subject to extreme voter suppression and the politicians even though you can do it just fine for other states.

you also don't seem to understand "be a dick to my opponent's son he never took care of" is not really part of the Warnock campaign's strategy because it's terrible optics.

If he's a conservative that WON'T lie that is admirable. They seem to be very thin on the ground of late.

Again, you know nothing about Christian Walker, but that's not gonna stop you here, apparently.

I've wasted enough time with you. I'm gonna give you the last word on this, because it's clear how much you need it. Do your worst…
