I've got a complaint. Well, it not new. I've expressed it before. But
nothing ever changes. Why, I ask, does David Morris get all the
attention and I virtually none. What's wrong with me. I read the
assignment, do the homework, show up on time--but never get called on as
it were. What's David got that I don't have. Shit fire and damnation. It
isn't fair. Doug and Dave are discriminators. I want some affirmative
action.
