I copied a comment I had made that fit this diary better than it fit its original location. Rootless began with the "your using Maureen Down's meme, you're following a Frank Lutz meme" etc. My Gawd!  You would think we were all back at a 40s gathering of CPUSA folks arguing over whose line to follow. I didn't even bother to object that I don't read Maureen Dowd or follow Frank Lutz. Rootless may have gotten that from Orange, of which I only read a few recommended diaries.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
