    Never, not once did i ever fully read an article in Salon, been there, done that. i come here to read what others have to say about an article, not what some clueless is shoving down others throat. this is the first time i've read the whole thing. but i didn't get it, and i have others reaction to not feel alone. later, it hit me. it took me 51 years to be able to Comprehend such an article. i lost everything that could matter and lift with nothing to look forward to; for You who don't get it you can go to Hell > AFRIKA where i was born raised and forever cursed to be from.
