When she ran away from me she was probably obeying some impulse of her own unruly nature. Now I come to think of it, her faults were those of a restive young animal rather of a human being.

Is there a good primer on the internal politics of the Gulf states? We know they have no culture and they don't have much in the way of civil society so, like, what happens when the population gets restive?

I’m going back to DC.
We all have to go there.

Mill around.
“ The crowds are restive
Drums.
Speeches.

Big crowds up in Lafayette Park.
Pushing on the fence.

“ The crowds have swelled in just a few hours, tens of thousands wait look they all have brooms!”
