I doubt the agenda included being gang-raped, having their passports stolen, thier families beaten or killed if they escape... it ain't all that consentual.
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I can not do this. I can not compare an African woman ripped away from all she has loved to a Borscht Lady who bought a ticket. I am weak in this way.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
We need a Buffista holiday to celebrate the festival of Shrift.
Ahem. [link]
And yes, Shrift does need to GET OUT of Michigan. She knows I have a futon for her, and room in my garage for her stuff, if she wants to try the Bay Area.
I miss the Buffistas, especially today, which was just too boring for words. Remind me of this week the next time I work until midnight, okay? Deadlines aren't always a bad thing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
For the second time in two weeks I came across a brown recluse spider in the open in my apartment. Tomorrow I'll have to find out whether the apartment complex management pays for an exterminator, or I do.
At least this time I was able to get a few pictures: [link]

Gud: I find myself trying to support arguments in a TV show versus arguments in The Times.
In The Wire, the Borscht Ladies were represented as being persons who "bought in."

(Robin: Yes. The real world differs from the world found on The Wire.)

For the record:
Slavery? Bad!
Sexual or otherwise? Bad!

OC: Dude. They killed Caleb. I liked Caleb in all his eviltude and his & Julie's disaster. Dude. Not happy about this.

OC people: Do not highlight the sarameg whiteage.
Too late?
