The most dangerous place
barthel:
I am trying to resolve my annoyance about people freaking out about the anti-abortion billboard in SoHo. Because, on the one hand, it is just a classic example of New York media trying to spin the local into the general, cloaking their provincialism in ignorance. These billboards have been everywhere, and far more offensive, for many many many years. It is not news! It is only news...
