Funny Papers Again Column | We All Lose When Fear Rules the Day

Steve Wilson
OK, so I’m 21 years old and I’m driving this flatbed dooley along the horseshoe canal and two guys come running toward me frantically waving their arms, and because I know these young men, I stop the vehicle. Good opening sentence, huh? Let me...
