Hey guys, how about lightening up on Brenne? Anyone who knows Brenne knows she finds oppression abhorrent. Geeze, the whole thrust of her education has been in that direction. Is there anyone in this august assemblage who doesn't understand the term "Holocaust Studies"?
Her very humorous and innocuous wisecrack about Charles Manson's book was just that. I've read and re-read the entire exchange in these emails, and I'll be darned if I can figure out the basis for some of the responses she received.
Unlike the majority of you, I was a young adult when Manson murdered Sharon Tate and the others, and as a member of the U.S. Army, I was involved in patrolling the Canada border for a few days, until he was captured. I remember the circumstances very well, and it has NOTHING to do with Guantanamo or secret prisons, or anything like that.
Has graduate study gotten so intense we have forgotten our collective sense of humor?
