  • Purity, Outrage, and Lessons

    I wonder if Bill Freeman ever thought that such a storm would be stirred with his name in the headline? Probably not. Truth of the matter is, this thing has a lot of moving parts, and as I demonstrated last night, it’s easy to get caught up in all of them, with perhaps, not all…
