Trust me, I’ve gotten my share of “passes” from people who just see me as a white woman, so they assume I’m on board with whatever racist bullshit they want to spew. I’m most definitely NOT on board for that, but I also recognize when to pick my battles as a matter of personal safety. I really wish I could tell some of these folks off, but there is always a mental calculation I have to perform to see if I feel like I can safely get away with it, and far too often I feel like I can’t.

But, if you could anonymously post a review about the crap this guy said, it might be worth it.

I also shred lots and lots of junk mail and other assorted paper.

Oh, and if you have a worm farm, what's left when they get done does not include any visible clues that there used to be paper involved. But they aren't quick.

Women voting and gay marriage were "impossibilities" too. We had those conversations and things changed.

Seems like Detmer really likes the sound of his own voice, especially when it's talking all tuff 'n' shit.
