Archie Bunker may have been a bigot but the show was written to appeal to liberal viewers. Complicates comparisons to his real life counterparts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
You know, I guess because of my grandpa, and watching it with him, I always saw Archie Bunker as a way of teaching a lesson to the "Archie Bunkers" of the world, since he liked the show, but then couldn't really argue with the message. Of course, I was a fairly small child, so I probably missed the nuances. The liberal view was of course why my mom and her brothers watched it.

but he thinks that any proposal to tax rich people more will stifle everybody's ambition to get rich, and everybody will stop working and the country's productivity will go down the terlet.
Imagine if anyone proposed a top tax rate like existed during the time of that show. Back then nobody ever wanted to get rich.

My questions for the evening are:
What is the accent that says "Ma-TURE" and not "Ma-CHURE." for the word mature? And how do they pronounce "nature"?
When did people start carrying drinks/coffee/water with them everywhere, and why? I remember in college, when someone had a plastic reusable cup for tea, I was so excited by it she gave me one for a present. Also, I feel like I was one of the onl;y people who drank during class, and it was considered kinds rude. This was 1991-1995.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kathy, I love spicy carrots! Only thing I make from my time in Moldova. But my recipe doesn't use soy sauce and there's chili pepper instead.

I'm watching a Frontline show about pollution in the Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound. The head of a poultry association is saying that, since some of the pollution coming off of chicken farms might actually be from wild animals in the surrounding area, there is absolutely no way to regulate the pollution. I hate people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bought TJ's beets. They better not suck, or I will blame oonu.
Got carded buying no alcohol again at BevMo. I was not snippy this time, just snarky. And didn't show any. Yet when I bought all the alcohol? Nobody cared.
Wore my new dragonfly necklace today. Couldn't stop fidgeting with it. It feels pretty. Now I need (more) dragonfly earrings.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am so glad I am not oonu. They might be in big, big trouble.
