I think it’s time we started asking public officials:
“Is it more important to punish the guilty than protect the innocent?”

Do we want our college kids filmed 24/7? Because the way some of the press was accusing the college for not having cameras in every square foot of the building and not having doors locked was almost as if they were blaming the college.
I teach at two campuses. No buildings are locked during day.

Can we rename Epstein-Barr Virus? It feels gross.
Or we could go the other way: Maybe ‘Cosby-Bondi’ or ‘Sandusky-Gonzales’ or ‘Weinstein-Ashcroft’?
Or just go full-out ‘Hitler-Hoover’ with it and call it a day.

One of the stories from my new collection about growing up in the early eighties.
What’s Left (Dave Mainelli) (Seven Arts Magazine)

Anyone with white Euro ancestors who came to this country via Ellis island or another port of entry pre 1965 should really sit this one out. They showed up and were let in. And now you’re here. They came looking for a better way of life and got one.
