A turn

Anthony rests his readers on the tip of his nose and looks over them at us on the other side of the lectern:

"I sometimes wonder why, with all of the outmoded and in the first place unsubstatiated generalizations which enjoy such currency even now, that certain other generalizations (whose evidence is in abundance) are rarely ever made & thus not widely accepted. Here, I'd like to give a few new ones a chance, and furthermore demand reader response (which has been lacking of late!):

1)Jewish women in their twenties are voluptuous and wise.
2)It takes an obscene amount of wealth for someone to admit that they are wealthy.
3)Everyone needs someone to look down on.
4)You never really see a roach die. Usually you walk away while its still twitching. Remember this when you're holding the paper towel: I've never forgotten it and never picked up a roach.

The take home message is this: If we accept the axiom that all generalizations are too wide in scope (I think this is connoted, rather than just implied by the word these days, anyhow) can't we trust each other enough to just make them? Clearly, the answer is yes, and not just because I'm never wrong."
