[AGL] vast ignorance

[michele mason]

Mike, don't you see, I don't wish anybody dead in anything except child 
molesters. May God forgive me for that. It was just a vent of 
exasperation—not real. I find it odd that you would think such a thing 
of me. I thought we were friends who could blow off some steam and know 
we're not serious—just frustrated. Just tired. Its been a long long 
day. I don't want to live in fear that my friend would get rid of me 
because its a hard day. C'mon. Delete and let live.  mm
