Thank you
Abbey and Thoreau are names I hear of for the first time in my life. Activists are fine with me. But I don't like Abbey's all too binding prescription.
There are writers who critisize and those who give hope. Those who help us escape every day reality for while and those who make us laugh. They all count.
Amen smirk
