Rebecca Morris, a bestselling true crime author was made to experience that most sinister of successions: catching sight of a Confederate flag. She was startled. She was miffed. She got all in a huff. She might have been slightly outraged. She did what any normal person would have done...which is to write an email to the local paper. The Seattle Times went out to look at this wondrous sight (o mirabile visu!) and realized that it was a Norwegian flag, put up by a Norwegian nisei in commemoration of the Winter Olympics.
A situation both sad and hilarious, I'm sure you'll agree. But mostly sad. Recall that I said this was a sinister event. The sinistrosity comes not, however, from our flag-flyer, but from Ms Morris. There was one thing she might have done to prevent her embarrassment, and promote the peace of the city, but as she herself wrote, OF COURSE she wasn't willing to do it. What civilized person would?
In the following video I engagingly explain why people like Rebecca Morris are frightening. You should watch.
