I liked the old Chuck Taylors. Sad to see Converse partnering with a family whose treatment of their son ought to be described as child abuse (but sadly was not). Let’s be blunt about the matter; the boy was treated more or less as a stripper at a homosexual nightclub—and we wonder why young people end up confused about what kind of interaction with adults is normal, or is not. We push boundaries and we wonder why an increasing number of people are on the wrong side of them.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

On the bright side, this will make my shoe shopping a little easier. There really were too many options.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
