On further reflection, I'm sure I did. It was unjust and I'm sorry.

It never occurred to me until a moment ago to wonder whether your question read to me like it did because it came from someone who maybe has never had to doubt that everyone can always know who to call to get out of a spot like that, on a number that will always be answered.

Even now I can't bring myself to call that a conclusion rather than a surmise. Oh, if you tell me it's true I won't doubt, or even be surprised. But the idea still feels far too utopian to really credit. Intellectually, sure. In my own early life, though?
