If I were Obama, I'd say "I'm a half-breed (or mulatto) and proud of it." But he never would say anything like that.

But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." -- Paul Dirac _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
