He seems like he enjoys life to me - You are the one who seems to complain about everybody. I appears you have a deeply ingrained allergy to truth, everything Cleanup said about Eugene is right on and correct. The question is OS, did Keillor go to any of these places ? Did he see the drug needles tampons, toilet paper, feces lying around in our parks, under bridges and public areas ? The answer is he didn't, he was, most likely, "hanging out" with rich disconnected, liberal, tenured, Profs from the U of O in a campus Bar talking about the good life, these people have about as much connectedness with how life really is in this city as the Man in the Moon does.
