That's how it works.

It's beautiful.

So it's an odd time I know for a show in the AM.

It's farmer's hours for a philosopher.

We're just out here.

Milking the back 40 and fencing the cows and plowing the roof and cannon foddering the chickens. I may be making some of that up. I'm not a farmer, exactly. Oh, I farm human souls in a Gogol style. All right. So I have been talking back and forth with the general make friends, break friends, business approach that I have where everybody thinks I'm on their side and then I ask them a question they don't like,

and it's bad, right? So this all came about because there was a video of a woman,

a teacher of the year, apparently, beating her child, hitting him, I think two dozen times in 20 seconds or something like that. She's been charged with

assault, child abuse, or whatever it is. And of course, you know, it's on video and we'll see

how that plays out, though it seems that if they're charging you for something that's on

video, you're probably wise to take your lumps.

So what happened, of course, was that people under the video were commenting, you know,

what's the problem?
