This Can't Be Broccoli

Please put me down as someone who paid off their student loans and is totally cool with having everybody else’s student loans wiped out completely. You can also put me down as someone who paid off their credit card debt, and would have no problem at all with other people having their credit card debt erased. Put me down as having healthcare through my job, but wanting to see other people have healthcare regardless of their employment status, even if that means my taxes go up as a result. Put me down as making a fair wage and wanting others to make one as well even if their jobs are easier than mine.

This week’s conversation is all about everyone’s favorite topic: Gays. --And theater. The interview is with one of my (gay) friends currently producing shows in  the southern part of the country.  As is the tradition with these interviews,  I’m keeping them anonymous. Here’s the interview: Me:  I want to talk about gays supporting theater. Them:  Oh, do they support theater where you live? Me:  Ooooooooooh--Shots fired. Them:  Is it on record that we were talking about this before you started the  interview? Me:  It is now. Them:  Sorry, I jumped the gun.
