I REQUIRE AID.
For real, I need a non-racist version of "oh no, Brere Bear, don't throw me into the briar patch"

It's the worst feeling in the world to be this glad that my father's dead. He loved this country so much, the history and promise of it, with such a strong sense of civic pride and responsibility

Fact: there's a Dead Thing smell in the house
