...some pockets of U.S. society are to parts of the Third World, with their lack of health care and their gun-toting distrust of democratic institutions.

(Minge was reportedly upset that she was not being helped by the staff at a garden supplies shop with loading mulch on to her car; the charges were eventually lowered to misdemeanor assault and a plea deal avoided prosecution.) The 2007 holiday season was the last time in their quarter-century...
