Since I occasionally print the stray abusive e-mail I still sometimes get (I think I've largely purged the readership of the juvenile and ressentiment-filled right-wingers who send such missives), I suppose I am entitled to print an especially nice one, this from a graduate student in Florida:
I applaud your efforts to defy all things simple-minded, dogmatic, pernicious, and ignorant. Unfortunately, given today's cultural and political climate, you have far too much to rant about. Just know that both my fiancé and I--as well as several of the other lawyers at the firm she works at--read your blog daily. It is one of the few things that help us maintain a sense of sanity and balance in this time of impending darkness.
That is, indeed, a gratifying note to receive, and a good motivation to keep on slogging through the dark times ahead.
