I liked to learn so much that I got a job at a book store. I know how much my mortgage costs and how many books ones of our plastic bags can hold without opening up and spilling them like guts across the pavement. I can hold books from the political right and political left in my right and left hands and my mind at the same time because no one is breathing down my neck to reconcile them. Reading both sides used to be recommended for the ensuing headache. Now you don’t have to read a third book to explain because explaining is not necessary. Accumulation, not integration.
