There are two things I want to talk about today. The first took place right here in the US, and the second happened in Italy. Both happened recently.
We’ve got a conductor who has forgotten the US still means freedom. Apparently, a tourist, possibly from Japan, who knew very little English, was taking photos of the [...]
