    Kale’s great, if you put enough frosting on it.

    It’s Kip’s ring and probably has his name on it. Ox found it and gave it to Kip. That’s my story.

    Wait, you want it to make sense?I’m guessing this is something like the well. Exactly what that is, I don’t know. Alternate reality? Hallucination? Fugue state?

    You have entirely missed the point in your fit of political pique.

    The question was about whether the neighborhood was gentrified. Gentrification is when wealthy people move into a poor area and change it’s character as a result. If Barney characterizes his ancestors’ arrival as gentrification, then he is saying that the previous inhabitants were poor and his ancestors were not. But this can only make sense if the two groups share a cultural scale of wealth, which they didn’t, and if the pilgrims were substantially higher on that scale, which they wouldn’t have been. Instead, the indigenous people had more available resources than the new arrivals and they used these resources to help the new arrivals survive. To call that gentrification is to utterly dismiss the roles of the indigenous people and to treat their culture as inferior on some scale.

    One can be proud of one’s own culture and family without demeaning those of others.

    Well, I wasn’t in Paris, I wasn’t in Rome, and I wasn’t in Beijing. Since I wasn’t in any of those places, I was clearly somewhere else! QED

    Though I’m always puzzled why she hangs out at the bar with him.
