A Modern Lament

Rana at Frogs and Ravens has a good list of many of the things being an American progressive means. I would add it means wondering whether to just leave one's Arabian Nights paperback at home instead of taking it to read on the plane to England for fear of being pounced on by fellow passengers or detained by airport security. [Which is a shame; I know I could take any other books from my vast folk-tale collection and pass the paranoid muster, but this one was next on my list to read because of the Vashti story I want to write, and the flight would have been a perfect venue for it...]
