Glen, As you have taught me to say [and I love to say it], " Oh, pfft!" (I even threw in a few extra eff's, in honor of you.] Surely regulating mob formation is one of the thing that even Libertarian states legitimately do. I share your distaste for victim/trauma narratives, but I still

Speaking of dreams ... I had this very vivid color dream sitting on "my" patio, a patio I've never actually seen in woke fugues, behind a house I've never actually seen while awake, watching a non-biomimetically tall deciduous tree that doesn't exist bend to some high winds. An impossibly long b
