Debates

Me and Dorothy watched the debate last night. Ain't gonna say nothing about that except it got me thinking about peoples arguing about stuff. Here in Harper we got a man and his wife what is fighting all the time. I don't mean hitting, cutting or shooting; what they use as weapons is words. The husband were telling me how somebody told him the best way to end a argument were to just say, "Honey, you're right." And he tried it, but it didn't work one bit. His wife jumped back on him for what she called patronizing her. She said he were lying 'cause she knowed he didn't think she were right in the least bit. So he said the fight just went on and on, half the night. I said I didn't understand how they could stand to live together with all that fighting. And he said he didn't reckon they could if they didn't love one another so much.
