Mary Elizabeth 'M.E.' O'Brien Sims:
I can't write this article, Glenn, it hits too close to home, it brings up too many ghosts and I can't write it honestly anyway because it means that my family and friends would have to bring up all these old memories that are better off dead and I can't do that to them or me. I have an uncle in the Ku Klux Klan! Or he was, I guess he still is, I don't know, and I was going to talk to him and try to find out WHY he hates so much, but what good would that do? And WHY would I even want to TRY to understand something that is irrational and EVIL? And it's way too complex an issue, I don't have anything but my own experience and WHAT do I know anyway? So I can't write this article.

Glenn:
If it scares you this much, Mary Elizabeth, that's why you HAVE to write it.
