I have scanned through all four gospels, and it appears that Jesus never said the thing that I said he said. Maybe it was another Biblical character, or maybe it was Shakespeare, but I'm pretty sure that somebody said it and that I didn't just make it up.
About that chicks thing, if you will check my post "Slim Pickings" of 11/4/18 you will see that it was I who first tracked down that Esquire article and reported that I was unable to access it. My sister doesn't remember it and Uncle Ken doesn't remember it, and they are the only people I know who ever participated in a protest demonstration, so maybe it never happened, but I didn't make that up either. I didn't have a TV in those days, so I must have either read about it somewhere or somebody told me about it. When I brought it up, comparing it to the current practice of illegal immigrants bringing their women and children with them, I didn't expect to have to defend my statement. I thought it was common knowledge, but apparently it is not. I was surprised that there is so little mention of it on the internet. I do think that the You Tube video is worth a look though. The poet lady just rattled it off like she didn't think anybody would challenge it. Of course the poem might be a work of fiction, but that could be said about almost anything you hear or read or see on TV these days. It's like that old army saying (origin unknown), "Don't believe anything you hear and half of what you see."
I just checked my news app, and it seems the Caravan is still on track.
